NatureLab projects like this are essential nowadays because we face environmental and social challenges. Restoring balance requires collaboration and scientific knowledge. These projects aim to mitigate multiple challenges and contribute to sustainable communities. They focus on territory, natural resources, and populations. Nature-based solutions and including natural processes in human environments can provide social and environmental benefits. These projects are useful because they address environmental, social, and health-related dimensions. With the majority of the world's population living in cities, and with an aging population in Europe, we need new solutions to support healthcare services. So, why do you think projects like NatureLab are so essential nowadays? Yeah, yeah, they are really, really essential. You know that we live in a world that is facing unprecedented environmental and social challenges. And the way to restore balance requires that all societies can join and collaborate towards bringing solutions. These solutions must be grounded in the best scientific and technical knowledge. And these solutions should also contribute simultaneously to mitigate several of these challenges. So, when we read the poll text for NatureLab poll, also given the multidisciplinary expertise of LNHT, we could grasp the challenges and the opportunities of dealing with all these dimensions at the same time in order to contribute to more sustainable and healthy communities. And this encompasses both territory, natural resources and populations. It is most relevant that we boost the application of nature-based solutions and deliberate inclusion of natural system process within human environment and in order to obtain relevant social and environmental benefits. And this is why a project that unites so many dimensions, environmental, social and health-related dimensions, they are really useful. And we must keep in mind that not only most of the world's population lives in cities, but we are aging, particularly in Europe. And the healthcare services, namely the public ones, will soon be insufficient to support all the populations in need of care. So, we should work in order to promote new solutions to alleviate and mitigate this burden. Very true.
