NATURE-BASED SOLUTIONS IN INDUSTRIAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAMMES
Abstract
Requirements for performing environmental self-monitoring (ESM) of various installations are set in the Russian legislation. However, large industrial plants often need to develop and run Industrial Environmental Monitoring (IEM) Programmes not at source but within the zone of influence, which in Russia is defined as the area at the boundaries of which concentrations of contaminants emitted by the pollution source reach 5 % of respective maximum allowable concentrations (ambient air quality standards). IEMP objectives must be set considering valuable ecosystem services of the region while possible ways to implement of Nature-Based Solutions (NBS). Ecosystem services should be regarded as the benefits that people receive from ecosystems, such as food, fuel, clean air, fresh water, flood and disease control and crop pollination, as well as opportunities for cultural, spiritual and recreational experiences. Indicators of ecosystem services are critical for assessing the state of the ecosystems. The choice of potential ecosystem services and their indicators is determined by the IEMP objective sand the availability of data from various sources. Indicators applied should have physical meaning and be measurable, so that any changes in the indicators will clearly identify changes in the certain ecosystem service. The emphasis on NBS application is very important, because they are planned for implementation at a considerable distance from the installation, even within recreational areas and protected landscapes.
