Measuring socio-economic and environmental impacts of nature-based solutions
The overall aim of the LIFE LOGOS 4 WATERS project is to improve climate adaptation and coordination capacity of local municipalities by mitigating the negative water-balance situation through the demonstration of integrated ecosystem-based water management solutions in Hungary. Within the project, we assess the impacts of project activities both on local economies and ecosystem services in the two concerned water catchments in Hungary. In 2023 we delivered the project baseline socio-economic as well as ecosystem services assessment. In 2025 we will deliver the final assessment to reveal changes induced by the project.
