The environment surrounding us is constantly changing! Human activities directly determine land use and land cover changes (e.g., land for agriculture, urban sprawl, areas for recreation) and indirectly influence them through climate change impacts. To protect ecosystems and biodiversity, it is crucial to study these changes and mitigate adverse effects. The aim of the Europe-LAND project is to identify how land use decisions can be steered towards more sustainable practices to meet policy objectives. An efficient tool for managing land cover changes is modelling.
The Europe-LAND team is organizing an online capacity building workshop for land use and modelling experts on 24th April 2025, 9:00-10:30h (CEST). The team will introduce a comprehensive database of existing land use/land cover modelling tools, guide the audience on how to use the database in research and practice and showcase a set of successful applications.
