Title in original language Synthesis report on policy context of ponds and pondscapes. Deliverable 1.3.
Original language English
Abstract To understand how EU-level policies and local/national policies in the DEMO-sites (can) support or hinder the implementation of multi-functional pond and pondscape NBS, we conducted our analysis in two steps. Specifically, we first assessed the EU and subsequently the DEMO site policy context (local/national). The DEMO-sites are located in the following countries: Spain (2 DEMO-sites), Belgium, UK (2 DEMOsites), Germany, Switzerland, Denmark, Turkey and Uruguay. Our analysis shows that both EU and local/national policies contain barriers and enabling factors, which amount to opportunities and limitations for implementing ponds and pondscapes as NBS. For the EU analysis we first show cross-cutting findings. Thereafter, we present findings by NBS benefits intended by the policies. These findings apply, to some degree, to all types of land use and NBS types. Subsequently, we show findings specific to pond and pondscape NBS located in coastal, urban, and rural areas. Lastly, we capture findings for the different types of NBS (creation, restoration, and management of ponds and pondscapes). Tables 4, 5, and 6 summarise the findings. For the local/national level analysis we present the findings according to the main categories of barriers and enabling factors that guide the analysis.
