This short report, referred to as Deliverable 1.6 (D1.6), is a summary of key findings, an overview of, and a comparative perspective on relevant governance, institutional and economic frameworks in China and Europe for urban forests as nature-based solutions (UF-NBS). It bases on work realised in WP1 and on a Sino-European co-design event. In the context of UF-NBS and the CLEARING HOUSE project, urban forest patterns, governance structures, institutional and economic frameworks are interlocking at various spatial levels. Task 1.5 merges the key findings of the Tasks 1.1 to 1.4 together with the findings of the exploratory analysis of the case studies (Task 2.1 in WP2; da Schio et al. 2021) and the inputs gathered from the co-design process (Task 3.1; De Vreese et al. 2021) into an analytical framework for a systematic and participatory study and implementation of UF-NBS and their effects and impacts on the urban socio-ecological system, including socio-cultural, ecological, and economic aspects. Topics addressed by the analytical framework will include ecosystem patterns and functioning, tree- and biodiversity, ecosystem services provisioning, impacts on human wellbeing (including socio-environmental justice, urban liveability, equality, social inclusion and gender and public health), climate change adaptation and the cost-effectiveness of UF-NBS in cities and their periurban surroundings. The analytical framework will highlight the contribution of different disciplines through assigned thematic experts from CLEARING HOUSE and give guidance for analysing existing planning instruments and monitoring schemes. It is preliminary structured in four streams, for the purpose of splitting and organising the work in WP2 and in the case studies. All four streams are interconnected, both in terms of the theme they cover and in terms of the activities planned.
