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自然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性，同时为多种社会生态共同效益做出贡献。为此，在4年多的时间里，GreenME的方法是诊断，增加关于绿色护理的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将增加自然疗法的使用，并将其整合到多标量绿色护理框架中，以最终促进公正的气候适应性和可持续的健康社区。GreenME将绿色护理理解为三个尺度的连续体，从日常生活中的自然（例如，用于观看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，如园艺和保护）到基于自然的治疗（为个体患者提供治疗）。我们将使用跨学科和混合方法的方法，以确定机会，障碍，因果关系的途径和模式（在）心理健康和福祉的好处，从绿色护理研究国家的公平分配。然后，我们将共同创建解决方案和指导方针，包括欧盟框架和针对具体国家的计划，以支持绿色护理沿着一个确定的绿色护理行为者社区，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式和指导方针，以设计有影响力的跨部门绿色护理系统，国家医疗保健系统和地方政府是受益者之一，从而提高基于自然的疗法的使用率，并对绿色基础设施功能进行总体重构。
