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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><strong>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).<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><a href=\"https:\/\/forms.office.com\/e\/7jXQU9zeFK\">Don\u2019t miss out on this excellent opportunity and register now!<\/a><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/europe-land.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/EL_technical-workshop-modelling_final-slides.pdf\">Download the slides from the event here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>P\u00e4evakord:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>9:00-9:15 Introduction \u2013 Maris Klavins, University of Latvia, Latvia<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>9:15-9:30 Land use\/land cover modelling tool database and success stories of modelling applications \u2013 Lucie Kupkova, Charles University, Czech Republic<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>9:30-9:45 Scenario-based modelling land-use and land cover changes to promote sustainability in biosphere reserves: A case study from North Vidzeme, Latvia \u2013 Janis Krumins, University of Latvia, Latvia<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>9:45-10:00 Modelling case study on land use\/land cover changes in Romania \u2013 Gheorghe Kucsicsa and Mihaela Sima, Institute of Geography of the Romanian Academy, Romania<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>10:00-10:30 Discussion \u2013 Maris Nartiss, University of Lativa, Latvia<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The environment surrounding us is constantly changing!
