River Conviviality: Advancing socio-environmentally just river restoration through nature-based solutions
Detailed description of the research area and research plan and approach to stakeholder engagement and expected societal impact, including policy impact.
The main goal of RiVIVE is to explore how the notion of riverscape conviviality can foster more inclusive, biodiverse and socio-environmentally just river restoration practices.
Theoretical development: Elaborate the concept of riverscape conviviality to inspire academics, practitioners and stakeholders
Alternative methodologies: Design, test and validate innovative approaches for stakeholder engagement, citizen science, multifunctionality mapping and the co-design of just and robust river futures.
Knowledge transfer: Create dissemination tools and creative materials to advance environmental justice and inspire restoration initiatives.
