LE NATURE-BASED SOLUTIONS ED IL PROGRAMMA ERASMUS+: UN CONNUBIO CHE PUÒ GENERARE VALORE SOCIO-AMBIENTALE NELLE AREE INTERNE

In areas subject to depopulation, although this trend risks hindering climate adaptation efforts, it also opens up opportunities for renaturalization and ecosystem improvement projects. This article explores the role of nature-based solutions (NbS) in inland areas, highlighting their potential to promote environmental awareness and community involvement. Through a case study on Bergolo (CN), we aim to provide an initial analysis highlighting how the community garden located here can create and renew the social fabric, specifically thanks to the role of the Erasmus+ program. Through a series of semi-structured interviews, this work aims to be a starting point for highlighting how such initiatives increase local awareness of socio-environmental issues and strengthen community ties at both the local and European levels.
