  • Description:
    The LIFE2RIVERS project aims to transform the perception and management of Slovenia's rivers, shifting from the current top-down, controlling approach to a co-creative river stewardship. The project team will raise awareness, build capacity and encourage all those involved to adopt a co-creative approach to river stewardship, in order to overcome the main barriers to better river management. Specifically, the project aims to: bring together scientists from different disciplines to study, work, share knowledge and cooperate to counter traditional misconception of rivers as purely physical structures build capacity and expertise in planning and implementing nature-based solutions (NbS) and river restoration measures set up communication channels between academia, decision makers, governmental officials and practitioners to ensure examples of NbS and river restoration are widely shared build the capacity of public officials and life scientists to participate in water governance processes enhance participation by academia, industry, government and citizens in a co-creative river stewardship model through raised awareness, understanding of and trust in NbS and river restoration establish a pilot demonstration for co-creative river planning and restoration in the Pšata river catchment area The project approach is in line with Slovenia’s 2nd RBMP, which prioritises green infrastructure and natural water retention measures for river restoration. It also supports the EU Water Framework Directive, the Biodiversity Strategy for 2030, the Nature Restoration Law and the Climate Adaptation Strategy.
