Project Details
Description
UNSW led NESP grant, however this record is for the UTAS-led sub project
Links between the health of people and the health of ecosystems and the environment are being increasingly recognised in research, policy and programs. Great strides have been taken in national and international research exploring these links between human wellbeing, and environmental and ecosystem health, including through the National Environmental Science Program (NESP). However, critical gaps remain in our knowledge and in our ability to translate knowledge to create more sustainable and liveable communities. Our aim is to build on work undertaken in NESP 1 Clean Air and Urban Landscapes Hub, and the Sustainable Communities and Waste (SCaW) Hub RP2021-RP2024. Integrating across different knowledge systems (science disciplines, experiential and Indigenous knowledges), the research seeks to create inclusive and reflexive national approaches to sustainable people-environment interactions. Through research and collaboration, and using a Nature-based Solutions (NbS) lens, we will develop knowledge and tools to inform and stimulate change for the shared benefit of humans and nature via two concurrent and mutually reinforcing projects:
Project IP1.02.01: Nature connection
Project IP1.02.02: Water sensitive and liveable communities
Through these projects, this impact priority area aims to empower regional, remote and Indigenous communities to become more sustainable and improve liveability and help support the delivery of Australia’s Strategy for Nature 2019–2030, National Climate Resilience and adaptation Strategy 2021–2025 and a renewed National Water Initiative 2004.
