The MOVE project is happy to share the promotional video to disseminate the main project results. The work developed during MOVE helped in the launching of the first steps for MAES implementation in European Union overseas regions, allowing them to meet the current challenges of ecosystem services mapping and assessment. Future challenges will be further addressed by the ongoing MOVE-ON project, which will continue the work done by its predecessor.

I am a PhD candidate at the University of Eastern Finland. My research focuses on the legal feasibility of urban nature-based solutions implementation across European cities. The main theme addressed by this PhD is climate change adaptation from the point of view of sustainable stormwater management and disaster risk reduction. I am interested in understanding the roles that the law plays in influencing urban climate resilience and analysing the main legal challenges that hinder nature-based solutions implementation and scaling-up within the European Union. I hold an LLM in Environmental Law and Sustainable Development from the University of the West of England.
