In this one-hour webinar, Europe-LAND partners will present the idea of the Europe-LAND Toolbox, a collection of scientific tools providing information for both spatial and temporal land use changes, to explore how planned land use actions might affect current and future land uses. The toolbox is aimed at policy makers, local authorities, regulatory agencies, farm federations and agricultural organizations, spatial planning engineers, NGOs and anyone interested in land use and land management. The toolbox will incorporate information and developed models from all work packages of the project regarding key motivations, drivers and factors behind land use related decisions and the effects of climate change as well as take into account the mitigation and adaptation measures needed.
