The project
DRYAD, a Horizon Europe project running from 2024 to 2028, will contribute to the Mission Adaptation to Climate Change by developing and implementing real-life, climate-resilient nature-based solutions (NBS) for Mediterranean agro-silvo-pastoral ecosystems (MAEs).
The project integrates cutting-edge scientific, technological, social, and business innovationswith transformative solutions, supporting a multi-level, cross-sectoral, integrated, and adaptive management governance through the development of Decision Support System.
Demonstration and replication regions
The project will be centered around development, testing and demonstrating nature-based solutions in 5 Demonstration Regions (DRs) and will be transferred to 3 Replication Regions (RRs).
Consortium
The project is coordinated by the University of A Coruña (UDC) and includes 27 partners from 6 European countries (Spain, Netherlands, Portugal, Italy, Greece, France).
