PROJECT DESCRIPTION

BACKGROUND

The Maraisilience LIFE project, involving a Regional Natural Park (RNP), six public institutions for intercommunal cooperation (EPCI), a university and a mixed union in charge of management of aquatic environments and flood prevention, focuses on the Marais Poitevin area. Thus far, adaptation (living in 2050 in a wetland subject to high vulnerabilities, because of its location below the level of the highest marine waters) and carbon sequestration actions (the wetland has a high carbon sequestration potential that needs to be better known, preserved or even increased) are insufficiently developed, especially because this space is the subject of fragmented and conflictual governance. This first aim of this project is to objectify the impacts of climate change for local stakeholders and the general public, and to help decision-making by creating a "climate observatory". This will enable to centralize existing but little-known scattered data and to collect missing data in the human and hard sciences, with a goal of more than 5,000 consultations. Then, the project aims : (1) to bring the stakelholders of the territory and its inhabitants to project themselves on desirable futures by organizing writing workshops to lead to 10 archetypes; (2) to change climate governance by creating a Climate Agora composed of 100 local stakeholders and 100 inhabitants ; (3) by conducting 5 experimental actions at the EPCI level to change governance on concrete climate cases; and finally (4) to support the change of more than 800 people via workshops, tools and dedicated human resources. The project will be the subject of coordination, communication, replication and evaluation actions. Lessons learned from these experiments will help to make progress on the subject of other RNP, territories with complex governance and/or wetlands. This project get along with all the objectives (a, b and c) of the LIFE program and is part of topic n°2 of the GOV Life.
