Abstract
This thesis explores the intersection of social justice and environmental sustainability by evaluating how Nature-Based Solutions (NbS) contribute to equity in urban contexts. Rooted in the GREEN-INC European project, funded under the Driving Urban Transitions (DUT) initiative, the research focuses on the city of Turin as a case study. While NbS are widely recognized for their environmental benefits, recent studies suggest that, if not intentionally designed to be inclusive, they can exacerbate existing socio-economic inequalities. This study responds to that concern by assessing and evaluating the impact of implemented NbS whether their benefits are equitably experienced by diverse population groups in Turin city, the research employs a survey-based methodology to assess six social indicators derived from the broader framework proposed in the article "A place-based framework for assessing the effectiveness of inclusive climate actions for nature-based solutions in cities" by Virginia Pellerey and Sara Torabi Moghadam.
The selected indicators three core- Citizen Involvement in Environmental Education, Estimated Morbidity and Mortality, Proportion of Citizens Involved in Participatory Processes - and three supporting indicators - Perceived Quality of urban spaces, Proportion of Community who Volunteer and Engaged with Projects, Bridging and Bonding, - form the foundation of the assessment framework
