There is growing interest in the application of nature-based solutions to adapt to climate change and promote resilience, yet barriers exist to their implementation. These include a perceived lack of evidence of their functioning in comparison to conventional solutions and an inability for existing design, policy, and assessment processes to capture the multiple benefits of these solutions. Positing this as a challenge of operationalizing and measuring resilience, we argue that the concept of resilience needs to be given concrete meaning in applied management contexts. Starting with shoreline vulnerability as a policy problem and natural and nature-based shoreline features as a promising solution, we present a case study of a co-creative process to produce an interdisciplinary and locally relevant approach to understanding and capturing the benefits of natural and nature-based solutions. We develop the notion of resilience service to enable a concreteness to resilience that simultaneously takes into account ecological, technical, and social dimensions. Through the co-creative process, our researcher-practitioner network developed a monitoring framework for shoreline features in New York State to facilitate the comparison of natural and nature-based features with conventional shoreline approaches. We describe the process and assess the advantages and drawbacks of integrating scientific input and local knowledge. We present the monitoring framework, showing how the co-creative character of the process is consequential in the formulation of the final framework through the selection of parameters, indicators, and protocols. We argue that interdisciplinarity, co-creation, pragmatism, multi-scalar applicability, and policy relevance are critical principles to understand the functioning and facilitate the implementation of nature-based solutions, while recognizing that this work necessitates compromise and as such will lead to continued deliberation. We posit this is a strength of the process for it acknowledges the creation of resilience as a social process in which values are central and subject to change.

实施弹性:共同创建一个框架来监测纽约州的硬质、自然和基于自然的海岸线特征

人们越来越关注应用基于自然的解决方案来适应气候变化和促进复原力,但其实施仍存在障碍。其中包括与传统解决方案相比缺乏其功能的证据,以及现有设计、政策和评估流程无法捕捉这些解决方案的多重好处。将此视为操作和衡量弹性的挑战,我们认为弹性的概念需要在应用管理环境中被赋予具体含义。从海岸线脆弱性作为一个政策问题和自然和基于自然的海岸线特征作为一个有前途的解决方案开始,我们展示了一个共同创造过程的案例研究,以产生一种跨学科和本地相关的方法来理解和捕捉自然和基于自然的解决方案的好处。我们发展了弹性服务的概念,以实现弹性的具体化,同时考虑到生态、技术和社会维度。通过共同创造过程,我们的研究人员-从业者网络开发了纽约州海岸线特征的监测框架,以促进自然和基于自然的特征与传统海岸线方法的比较。我们描述了整合科学投入和当地知识的过程并评估了其优缺点。我们提出了监控框架,通过选择参数、指标和协议,展示过程的共同创造特征如何影响最终框架的制定。我们认为,跨学科、共同创造、务实、多尺度适用性和政策相关性是理解功能和促进基于自然的解决方案实施的关键原则,同时认识到这项工作需要妥协,因此将导致持续审议。我们认为这是该过程的优势,因为它承认韧性的创造是一个以价值观为中心并可能发生变化的社会过程。和政策相关性是理解基于自然的解决方案的运作和促进实施的关键原则,同时认识到这项工作需要妥协,因此将导致继续审议。我们认为这是该过程的优势,因为它承认韧性的创造是一个以价值观为中心并可能发生变化的社会过程。和政策相关性是理解基于自然的解决方案的运作和促进实施的关键原则,同时认识到这项工作需要妥协,因此将导致继续审议。我们认为这是该过程的优势,因为它承认韧性的创造是一个以价值观为中心并可能发生变化的社会过程。
