Our Research
Evidence for leveraging change in nature-based solution policy and investment.
Research at the PiNC Lab explores the enablers and constraints of effective and equitable nature-based solutions across all phases including design, planning, implementation, maintenance, monitoring and evaluation. All projects at the lab fall within the below research themes. Read our full list of publications here.
Social impacts & equity
Our research examines the relationship between equitable and effective nature-based solutions, and how different solutions build adaptive capacity and reduce sensitivity climate risks.
Environmental impacts
We investigate ecosystem service trade-offs and synergies between nature-based solutions used for adaptation and mitigation, particularly for water-carbon couplings and food production.
Finance & capacity
We focus on understanding what factors and evidence types incentivise investment in equitable and effective nature-based solutions, and explore approaches that enable those in practice and policy to support this.
Governance
Our research examines the governance of nature-based solutions, aiming to shed light on how they can play a role in development that is just, sustainable and climate resilient for all.
