Sweden faces major challenges with climate change induced extreme weather, with achieving the Agenda 2030 goals and with fulfilling the upcoming requirements of the nature restoration regulation (naturrestaureringsförordningen). A suitable nature-based solution that contributes to managing climate change effects, that contributes to nine of the sixteen environmental goals and that is a relevant part of the restoration regulation requirements are wetlands. The need for more wetlands on a large scale entails a possible complication between authorities and landowners. One problem is getting landowners who manage the land interested in restoring and constructing wetlands. Today, many landowners have a lack of knowledge about wetlands and grants related to their restoration and construction. Therefore, this study examines how communication and information dissemination affect landowners' views on restoring and creating wetlands, as well as what incentives can increase landowners' motivation to conduct wetland measures. The study is based on a mixed method of two questionnaire surveys (beforeand-after intervention) and an interview study. Our results show that communication and information dissemination increase landowners' positive attitude and knowledge about wetland restoration and construction. Landowners' views on grants for wetland restoration and construction varied depending on the use of the land. The most prominent incentive among participants was support with bureaucracy for restoring and constructing wetlands as it was considered a major problem. Overall, our study shows that relevant information dissemination and individually adapted communication have the potential to increase landowners' willingness to restore and construct wetlands on their land.
