项目摘要

Contributing to the body of evidence on trade-offs and synergies in tropical developing countries will enable well-designed NbS in globally significant ecosystems to reduce risks and deliver a greater breadth and depth of positive outcomes for respective beneficiaries. This research aims to build on the growing evidence base for trade-offs and synergies between ecosystem services in tropical developing countries to uncover context-specific insights. This is particularly important for NbS, and more specifically NCS (a subset of NbS), as investments in NCS are scaling from organisations who have made net-zero and nature-positive commitments and therefore plan to use NCS carbon credits to (i) neutralise their residual emissions or (ii) contribute to their 'beyond value chain mitigation' efforts. This research aims to make the following contributions: 1. Develop a practical and standardised approach for project proponents to consider trade-offs and synergies between ecosystem services in NCS projects, in alignment with the high-integrity requirements of the IUCN Global Standard for NbS. 2. Demonstrate the advantages and disadvantages of using an interdisciplinary mixed methods approach to synthesise insights across biophysical and socio-economic value domains. 3. Contribute to the evidence base for the context-specific analysis of ecosystem service trade-offs and synergies in tropical developing countries.

在热带发展中国家的权衡方面和协同效应方面为大量证据做出贡献，将使全球重要的生态系统中精心设计的NBS降低风险并为各自受益人带来更大的积极成果的广度和深度。这项研究旨在建立在热带发展中国家生态系统服务之间不断增长的权衡和协同作用的证据基础上，以揭示特定于上下文的见解。这对于NB，更具体地说是NCS（NB的子集）尤其重要，因为NCS的投资正在从已做出净零和自然阳性承诺的组织进行扩展，因此计划使用NCS碳信用来（i）中和（i）中和其残留分配或（ii）对他们的“超越价值链链”的努力有助于（ii）。这项研究旨在做出以下贡献：1。为项目支持者开发一种实用和标准化的方法，以考虑NCS项目中生态系统服务之间的权衡和协同作用，这与NBS IUCN全球标准的高融合要求一致。 2。证明使用跨学科混合方法方法来综合生物物理和社会经济价值领域的见解的优点和缺点。 3。为热带发展中国家生态系统服务权衡和协同作用的特定于上下文分析的证据基础。
