7 Pollination-related calls POSHBEE project SFS : Bee health and sustainable pollination (9M ) ECOSTACK project SFS : productivity gains through functional biodiversity effective interplay of crop pollinators and pest predators (10M ) The topic SFS : Making European beekeeping healthy and sustainable is under evaluation (8M ) The topic SFS : Biodiversity in action across farmland and the value chain is open [2019] Capitalising on native biodiversity in farmland landscape (2x8M ). Topic on addressing wild pollinators decline and its effects on biodiversity and ecosystem services in 2020 (5M ). Research and Innovation

8 NBS Implementation NBS Case studies Aim: identify NBS actions in European cities, and highlight best practices These include NBS as such but also other actions considered as enabling the implementation of NBS The case studies provide examples of the multiple benefits delivered by different kinds of NBS
