Nature for society, nature as culture, or nature for nature – what will Europe look like in the year 2050? European changemakers are exploring a new set of visions for nature-centered Europe for 2050. In a May workshop in Greece, stakeholders created scenarios and visions of what a nature-centered Europe looks like in the year 2050. So, what were the results?

Close your eyes and imagine your ideal Europe in 2050. How would it look if we managed to achieve all that we have set out to do? What does Europe’s nature and society look like in this future?

The BIONEXT project is identifying pathways that help to achieve sustainable, nature-centered futures and societies. One key component of these pathways is the Pathways app, which will be based on good, real-world practices where biodiversity and nature have been the center of decision-making.

We are all familiar with the role of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in relation to one of the major challenges of our times: climate change. IPCC works in close consultation with governments to assess scientific knowledge about climate change.

New research and innovation project BIONEXT creates novel science-based solutions and tools for halting biodiversity loss and achieving sustainable, nature-centered future and societies.
