Abstract

Wageningen University & Research (WUR) organises the Mansholt lectures to provide inspiration for European policy makers and other stakeholders. This year, we highlight the importance of the power of imagination and we present an initial hopeful perspective of a climate resilient and nature-based future for Europe in 2120. Continuing from the previous Mansholt lecture in 2022, which discussed the food system’s role as a catalyst for developing nature-positive futures, in this lecture we focuson the potential of nature-based solutions as an essentialpart of a cohesive, collaborative approach towards thedevelopment of a climate resilient and nature-based future for Europe. This approach places climate action and biodiversity at the forefront, interlinking these themes across society as a whole and shifting the paradigm from confronting challenges to accepting opportunities.
