Demonstrating how regions can operate within safe ecological and regional nitrogen and phosphorus boundaries - HORIZON-CL6-2024-ZEROPOLLUTION-01-1

Building on recent innovations in regional nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) budgeting and quantification methodologies to ensure good status for air, water and soil ecosystems, this Innovation Action should demonstrate how to apply optimised N/P budgets, based on maximum allowable inputs of N/P at a regional/river basin scale, and create the necessary systemic and multi-actor transition pathways to ensure a sustainable integrated N/P management in the future. Successful proposals will deliver, to all actors involved in N and P emitting activities in a given region, a demonstrated set of measures to limit N/P emissions and re-balance N/P flows within safe ecological boundaries at regional and local scale, thereby contributing to restoring ecosystems in line with the European Green Deal and the EU zero pollution action plan.
