C4N

Community for Nature Project (C4N) is developed in the framework of the Interreg Euro-MED Programme Mission 2 on Protecting, restoring, and valorising the natural environment and heritage. This mission has as a main aim to meet the environmental objectives planned by EU and included in the EU Green Deal but also well detailed in the EU Communication on Sustainable Blue Economy and in the EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030, the Barcelona Convention and the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). In this framework, C4N works in close collaboration with its mirroring Project, Dialogue for Nature supporting transnational actions addressed to develop effective governance frameworks and ensure increasing the sustainability of natural resources management.

Objectives

C4N aims to achieve transferring knowledge and best practices, as well as harmonising policies to tackle the challenges related to biodiversity protection and climate change by establishing a Community of Practice boosting relations between key actors of the Mediterranean region. C4N exploits, reuses, reshapes the available knowledge, the existing practices and infrastructure produced by Euro-MED thematic and strategic projects to mainstream transferrable results into concrete management practices and policies. It will deliver a catalogue of transferrable results and establish a Community Amplification Room to ensure identifying concrete opportunities to enhance collaboration and promote the adoption of solutions, policy harmonization and innovative governance practices. Through specific working groups, mentorship programmes and training, the different target audiences will be invited to collaborate addressing the common challenges of the Mediterranean area, and focus on specific topics for environmental restoration, valorization and protection through a holistic approach, offering a set of tested and validated solutions.
