Imagine trying to build a city where nature and people thrive together, but you don't have a map. This project creates that map by showing how things like food, energy, and transport affect wildlife. It provides a digital tool to help leaders pick the best paths to recover nature without hurting the economy.
Companies and policymakers struggle to balance economic growth with biodiversity recovery because they lack concrete data on how different sectors (like energy and food) interact. This leads to fragmented policies that often fail to produce nature-positive results.
A BIONEXT Pathways App for decision support and a database of real-life transformative change cases.
If you are a consultancy dealing with soil degradation and crop failure — this project developed a database of real-life cases that shows how agroecological practices lead to biodiversity recovery. This allows you to provide proven, science-based transition paths for your clients.
If you are a maintenance firm dealing with strict environmental regulations for embankments — this project developed a Nexus Modelling Framework that identifies positive impacts of managing road verge and railway habitats. You can use these insights to optimize land management for compliance.
If you are an agency dealing with urban heat islands and water runoff — this project developed the BIONEXT Pathways App. This tool helps you explore building blocks for urban green and blue infrastructures to create nature-positive city visions.
Based on available project data, no pricing information is provided as the project is EU-funded research.
The project is currently developing a decision support tool and a database of cases; it is not yet described as a full-scale industrial deployment.
Based on available project data, there are no specific details regarding patents or commercial licensing terms.
It provides guidance for mainstreaming biodiversity into policy-making and offers concrete options to accelerate biodiversity-friendly change.
The project period runs from 2022-09-01 to 2026-08-31, suggesting the final tools will be ready by late 2026.
The consortium is heavily weighted toward research and public administration, consisting of 6 research organizations, 2 universities, and 2 other entities. With 0% industry representation and only 1 SME among the 10 partners, the project is driven by academic and policy goals rather than immediate commercial product development.
