Analysing-Synthesising-Guiding
The overall aim of ‘Analysing-Synthesising-Guiding’ is to strengthen the rationale and narratives that underpin the creation and implementation of nature-based solutions. This will be achieved by evaluating existing nature-based solutions projects and analysing their benefits and disbenefits for live able, healthier and resilient cities.

Objectives:
Frame: develop the CONEXUS participatory framework for analysis and assessment of NBS.
Analyse: apply the framework, analysing data about nature-based solutions performance, feeding back into ‘Restoring: demonstrating place-based NBS’.
Synthesise: learning, key messages and narratives for co-creation and co-management of nature based solutions from all parts of CONEXUS to create guidelines and tools that support the transfer and upscaling of nature-based solutions.
A framework will be developed that can be used for the analysis and assessment of nature-based solutions to ensure local impact. Specific and generic indicators will be developed building on existing frameworks and using a participatory engagement approach to complement the core indicators. The framework will be applied to the Life-Labs to measure their impact and success.
The analysis and assessment of nature-based solutions process and outcomes will be undertaken in close cooperation with other project activities. A learning cycle will be established using the outcomes of the transdisciplinary evaluations to iteratively enhance the nature-based solutions and their services and co-benefits. Project learning, key messages and narratives will then be synthesised and guidelines developed to impart new knowledge, guidance and decision-support tools for sustainable nature-based solutions place-making.
