European cities consistently seek to improve urban environments for their residents, yet often struggle to find solutions to address urban issues while engaging citizens. The European Union funds research and innovation projects proposing nature-based solutions to address climate change, biodiversity, human health and wellbeing in cities under the Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe programs. The presented research from the project UPSURGE is based on a survey of 5,990 urban residents in 6 European countries. The study focuses on the planning phase of nature-based solutions in cities, in which trade-offs have to be made between different options, such as the design, effectiveness, financial contributions from residents or participatory options. Based on an innovative survey including a choice experiment, the aim is to assist public participation processes in various countries, help planning teams define priorities and design governance measures which ensure long-term dedication to development plans. The results reflect respective exposure to climate change across the continent; such as Greek respondents being more affected by high temperatures compared to those from the United Kingdom. However, the study also revealed different preferences in regard to a participatory planning process, willingness to pay and importance of biodiversity.

合适的选择：欧洲城市接受基于自然的解决方案


欧洲城市一直在寻求为居民改善城市环境，但往往难以找到解决城市问题的解决方案，同时吸引市民参与进来。欧盟资助研究和创新项目，在“地平线 2020”和“欧洲地平线”计划下，提出基于自然的解决方案，以应对城市中的气候变化、生物多样性、人类健康和福祉。UPSURGE 项目提出的研究基于对 6 个欧洲国家的 5,990 名城市居民的调查。该研究侧重于城市基于自然的解决方案的规划阶段，其中必须在不同的选项之间进行权衡，例如设计、有效性、居民的财政贡献或参与性选项。基于一项包括选择实验在内的创新调查，目的是协助各国的公众参与过程，帮助规划团队确定优先事项并设计治理措施，以确保长期致力于发展计划。结果反映了整个非洲大陆各自面临的气候变化风险;例如，与来自英国的受访者相比，希腊受访者更容易受到高温的影响。然而，该研究还揭示了在参与式规划过程、支付意愿和生物多样性重要性方面的不同偏好。
