Behind the paper - Improving the climate resilience of European cities via socially acceptable nature-based solutions:A dynamic and adaptive social acceptance framework that shows how data-driven science can inform the integration of NBS into cities while also ensuring that the public embraces these solutions
The primary motivation behind this paper is the observed energy and environmental policy failures due to the lack of public support. Once a policy intervention is implemented, we have noticed that the attempted targets may not be achieved smoothly due to social, economic, technical, and environmental barriers. The recent conflicts, particularly those associated with selecting appropriate energy technologies, have underscored the importance of human interactions with environmental systems. Regarding nature-based solutions (NBS) or other sustainability improvements, social acceptance is one of these critical dimensions imperative in planning and implementing policy interventions. However, social acceptance has traditionally been considered solely in the last stage of planning processes, which prevents the incorporation of findings from acceptance studies into policy design and planning procedures. In exploiting social acceptance for a smooth implementation of NBS, developing a generalizable and comparable approach was challenging for several reasons. First, the implementation process of NBS involves interventions embedded in highly complex socio-ecological systems with uncertain responses. Second, the implementation happens over a long time. Third, planning and implementation often involve collaboration among stakeholders with diverse backgrounds and perspectives on solutions. Finally, existing studies on social acceptance are fragmented and cross-disciplinary, making it difficult to compare the acceptance of different cases directly.
