Empowering citizens in collaborative environmental compliance assurance via MOnitoring, REporting and action (MoRe4nature)

MoRe4nature旨在通过将公民和社区作为合作环境合规保证（ECA）的关键行为体，引发零污染、生物多样性保护和森林砍伐预防方面的保护工作的变革。扭转环境退化趋势的一个关键因素是改变环境合规保证干预措施。公民科学倡议（CSI）提出了联合数据和知识生产以及赋予公民可持续自然资源管理的创新方法。然而，非洲经委会采用公民生成数据和公民行动的障碍尚未得到有效解决。MoRe4nature将使用社会技术方法来应对这些挑战，并深化公民和社区在非洲经委会中的作用，方法是：i）加强现有公民科学倡议提供相关有效数据的能力，并理解非洲经委会的重要性，ii）促进和支持公民科学倡议和当局之间的合作和伙伴关系，以弥补数据差距并形成政策监测框架，开发和测试工具，以验证从CSI获得的数据，从而有助于将这些数据源整合到环境治理和欧洲开放科学云中，iv）使CGD可用作绿色交易数据空间中的节点，以及v）通过在公民科学倡议和LivingLabs for EU Missions之间建立协同作用，引导许多公民和社区采取具体和立即行动的紧迫性，合作伙伴关系和其他计划，如Fab Labs，分享可持续发展转型的价值观，并有助于共同设计行动，作为绿色和数字转型的一部分。MoRe4nature将通过在欧洲、拉丁美洲、亚洲和非洲的40个案例中与162个现有的CSI和98个当局和国家机构以及欧洲选定的LivingLabs和Fab Labs合作，确保项目持续时间之外的吸收和影响。

MoRe4nature aims to trigger transformative change in conservation efforts regarding zero pollution, biodiversity protection and deforestation prevention by including citizens and communities as key actors in collaborative environmental compliance assurance (ECA). A key element in reversing the trend in environmental degradation is a change in environmental compliance assurance interventions. Citizen Science Initiatives (CSIs) present innovative ways of joint data and knowledge production and of empowering citizensin sustainable natural resource management. However, barriersto the uptake of Citizen Generated Data (CGD) and citizen actions in ECA have not been effectively tackled. MoRe4nature will use a socio-technical approach to address these challenges and deepen the role of citizens and communities in ECA by i) strengthening the capacity of existing CSIs to provide relevant and valid data and understanding the importance of ECA, ii) fostering and supporting collaboration and partnerships among citizen science initiatives and authorities to cover data gaps and shape policy monitoring frameworks, iii) developing and testing tools to validate data obtained from CSIs, thus contributing to the integration of such data sources in environmental governance and in European Open Science Cloud, iv) making CGD available as a node in the Green Deal Data Space and v) channeling the urgency for concrete and immediate action of many citizens and communities by creating synergies between citizen science initiatives and LivingLabs for EU Missions, partnerships and other initiatives such as Fab Labs which share the values of sustainability transitions and which can help co-design actions as part of green and digital transformations. MoRe4nature will ensure uptake and impact beyond the project duration by engaging 162 existing CSIs and 98 authorities and national agencies in 40 cases in Europe, Latin America, Asia and Africa as well as selected LivingLabs and Fab Labs in Europe.
