Participatory Modelling for NBS Co-design and Implementation

Abstract This chapter summarizes the lessons learned in NAIAD concerning role of risk perception and stakeholders’ engagement NBS co-design implementation. Specifically, this work describes efforts done for overcoming two barriers hampering implementation, i.e. lack collaboration among different decision-makers. To aim, scientific knowledge were integrated through participatory modelling exercises assessment effectiveness assessment, described work. The impacts on acceptance due to process are also assessed discussed. provides technical information methods tools mainly a audience practitioners (particularly Sects. 5.1 5.2), although general principles conclusions suitable wider audience, including public authorities decision-/policy-makers (Sect. 5.3). is structured around three main topics that arose during namely: (i) complexity cause-effects chains affecting socio-institutional measures; (ii) need account existence potential trade-offs stakeholders benefiting from implementation co-benefits production; (iii) communication exchange facilitating
