Ecological Engineering and Restoration (ERC sequence)

Sustainable development, ERC sequence, green, blue, and turquoise infrastructure.

The aim is to present the regulatory and technical frameworks for integrating the environment into projects, plans, and programs. The Avoid, Reduce, Compensate sequence, its challenges, and the actors involved will be presented, discussed, and illustrated. Green and blue infrastructure and their interface with turquoise infrastructure will be analyzed as tools for improving biodiversity conservation in land management and development operations.
Learners will be asked to take a step back and consider the methods and expertise used to apply this ACR sequence in different areas related to plans, developments, and programs that have an impact on the environment.

A field trip is an opportunity to meet the stakeholders, learn about the ERC actions being implemented, and draw conclusions and perspectives.

The applications will focus on the turquoise framework combining the biodiversity law and the water law dossier, and on the ERC deployment of the development dossier.

Finally, the EU offers learners a truly critical analysis of skills and the development of innovative and inclusive solutions.

- Identify the ecological and hydrological processes operating in watersheds and the associated issues
- Understand and discuss the concepts of green, blue, and turquoise corridors and their variations and issues
- Understand an ERC sequence, its different stages, the principles behind its development, the stakeholders involved, and the regulations governing its implementation
- Identify in situ the specific features of the terrain that lead to ecological and hydrological discontinuities and malfunctions at different scales and propose the implementation of the ERC sequence
- Identify sources of documentation relating to these issues, diagnoses, and solutions
- Present the study, the context, the issues, and the proposed solutions.
