GreenME aims to identify ways in which effective nature-based therapy and a broader green care framework can be scaled-up to improve adult mental health and wellbeing equity while contributing to multiple socio-ecological co-benefits. To that end, over 4 years, GreenME’s approach is to diagnose, to increase scientific evidence on the mental health and wellbeing benefits of green care and to empower green care actors. GreenME will increase the use of nature-based therapy and its integration within a multi-scalar green care framework to ultimately promote just climate resilient and sustainable healthy communities. GreenME understands green care as a three-scale continuum from nature-in-everyday-life (e.g. the existence of green and blue infrastructure for viewing and walks) to nature-based health promotion (the promotion of active interaction with nature such as gardening and conservation) to nature-based therapy (the provision of treatment for individual patients). We will use a transdisciplinary and mixed-methods approach to identify opportunities, barriers, causal pathways and patterns of (in)equitable distribution of mental health and wellbeing benefits from green care in study countries. We will then cocreate solutions and guidelines including a EU framework and country-specific schemes for bolstering green care along with an identified community of green care actors, and design a training program for nature-based therapy providers informed by empirical evidence. The evidence generated will offer replicable partnership models and guidelines to design impactful cross-sectorial green care systems, with national healthcare systems and local governments amongst the beneficiaries, leading to a higher uptake of nature-based therapy and a general reframing of the green infrastructure functionality.

GreenME 旨在确定如何扩大有效的基于自然的疗法和更广泛的绿色护理框架，以改善成人心理健康和福祉公平，同时促进多种社会生态协同效益。为此，四年多来，GreenME 的方法是进行诊断，增加关于绿色护理对心理健康和福祉益处的科学证据，并赋予绿色护理参与者权力。 GreenME 将增加基于自然的疗法的使用及其在多尺度绿色护理框架中的整合，以最终促进气候适应和可持续的健康社区。 GreenME 将绿色护理理解为一个三个尺度的连续体，从日常生活中的自然（例如用于观赏和散步的绿色和蓝色基础设施的存在）到基于自然的健康促进（促进与自然的积极互动，例如园艺和保护）到基于自然的治疗（为个体患者提供治疗）。我们将采用跨学科和混合方法来确定研究国家绿色护理带来的心理健康和福祉效益的机会、障碍、因果路径和（不）公平分配模式。然后，我们将与确定的绿色护理参与者社区共同制定解决方案和指南，包括欧盟框架和针对具体国家的绿色护理计划，并根据经验证据为基于自然的治疗提供者设计培训计划。所产生的证据将提供可复制的伙伴关系模型和指南，以设计有影响力的跨部门绿色护理系统，受益者包括国家医疗保健系统和地方政府，从而提高基于自然的疗法的采用率和对绿色基础设施功能的总体重构。
