+The more4nature project uses a socio-technical approach to address these challenges and deepen
+the role of citizens and communities in ECA by:
+  - strengthening the capacity of existing citizen science initiatives to provide relevant and valid data and understanding the importance of ECA,
+  - fostering and supporting collaboration and partnerships among citizen science initiatives and authorities to cover data gaps and shape policy monitoring frameworks,
+  - developing and testing tools to validate data obtained from citizen science Initiatives, thus contributing to the integration of such data sources in environmental governance and in European Open Science Cloud,
+  -  making CGD available as a node in the Green Deal Data Space,
+  - creating synergies between Citizen science initiatives and Living Labs and other initiatives such as Fab Labs, which can help co-design actions as part of green and digital transformations.
+The aim of more4nature is to strengthen the role of citizen science in ECA. Thus, the project takes
+as a starting point that CCLA and CGD can contribute to better compliance with Z/B/D policies
+as well as serving as drivers for policy change.
