PhD Position on Socio-Economic Tipping Points and Positive Levers in Scaling up Nature Based Solutions-
**_Are you interested in socio-economic levers to upscale Nature Based Solutions? Join the NL2120 National Growth Fund Program with other 15 PhDs/PostDocs, and 30 NGOs, research institutes and industry._**
Job description
Climate change, loss of biodiversity and resulting economic losses, pose an increasing threat to the prosperity and well-being of current and future generations. To be able to live and work safely and healthily in the Netherlands in the future, fundamental changes are needed in our land use and soil and water management. It is internationally recognized that Nature Based Solutions (NBS) - integral solutions that harness the power of nature to e.g. reduce climate and environmental problems in a sustainable manner - can play an important role in this transition.
NBS are at the core of climate policies, especially for climate change adaptation (e.g. the EU Adaptation Strategy). While their ecological and societal benefits are well known, NBS often compete for space and face land use trade-offs with various economic activities. Furthermore, at times short
- and mid-term benefits for either local public (e.g. regional or municipal governments) or private actors (e.g. households and companies) are unclear or not yet realized. These two problems jointly create barriers to scaling up and speedy uptake of NBS. At the same time, NBS and nature, in general, are argued to become new critical ‘asset class’, increasingly attracting the attention of financial investors and calling for quantitative assessments of mechanisms to generate, maintain and distribute economic value of NBS. Even the high-level COP meetings call for identifying positive tipping points for NBS uptake and scaling up. Such analysis needs to rely on the existing, largely qualitative NBS frameworks, and go beyond to develop quantitative methods to assess benefits for various private and public actors across timescales (short-, mid
- and long-term) and the distribution of both benefits and costs among actors to give guidance for the design of cost-effective NBS investment policies.
This PhD project will focus on the socio-economic and financial tipping points and positive levers in scaling up NBS. This requires mapping short-, mid
**Requirements**:
- Master’s degree in Environmental Policy; Spatial or Environmental Economics; Complex Systems Science; or Environmental Science.
- Previous experience with agent-based modeling or with one of the programming languages (Python; Java; C++; Julia) is an advantage.
- Capacity to perform statistical data analysis is beneficial.
- Domain knowledge in the field of environmental policy, sustainability or nature based solutions specifically is an asset.
