Science for evidence-based and sustainable decisions about natural capital
SELINA is a Horizon 2020 project which spans 5 years (July 2022 – June 2027) and builds upon its predecessor project, ESMERALDA. The SELINA project aims to reshape decision-making processes within the public and private sectors by improving the uptake of Biodiversity, Ecosystem Conditions, and Ecosystem Services information.
Building on the research and existing knowledge base that has resulted from policy initiatives, such as the EU BD Strategies 2020 and 2030, IPBES, IPCC and CBD, the Project will produce an evidence-based Compendium of Guidance for decision-makers of all levels.
Providing robust practical information and recommendations to stakeholders from both the public and private sectors, SELINA will pave the way towards the transformative societal change required to achieve the ambitious goals of the European Biodiversity Strategy 2030 and the Green Deal.
The project is coordinated by Leibniz University Hannover and Prof. Dr. Benjamin Burkhard, and it is a collaboration of experts from 50 partner organisations from all 27 EU member states, Norway, Switzerland, Israel, and the United Kingdom.
