Livrables

Documents, reports (2)

Guidelines for connectivity conservation and planning in Europe with supporting web-based inventory and databases

This guidelines will be the product of tasks 6.1 and 6.2In 6.1 we will co-design a framework for multi-scale connectivity assessment and planning together with stakeholders from MS administrations, EU policy bodies and other relevant EU programs and platforms: LIFE projects, EuropaBON, KCBD, EEA, etc. This framework will be published in the connectivity guidelines together with the output of task 6.2 which include a synthesis report of the input data, statistical models and predictions of species dispersal kernels using agent-based models.

Scenario framework for TEN-N, translation of NFF storylines into indicators and scenario settings

The report will document the methods for the production of scenarios and the storylines of these scenarios using the IPBES Nature Futures Framework.

Websites, patent fillings, videos etc. (1)

NaturaConnect Moodle with all capacity building and training materials

All capacity building sessions, material and media will be housed in an online NaturaConnect Moodle which will host online tutorials, demo recording, presentations. The Moodle will complement live and interactive training sections, delivered online or in-person.

Data sets, microdata, etc (1)

Spatial opportunities and constraints for green infrastructure network design

The datasets will include spatially explicit data representative of socio-economic and land-use opportunities and constraints for creating or modifying GI. This includes all protected areas, relevant remotely sensed variables (from Copernicus) and proxies of farmland management intensity, which allows to delineate potential high nature value as well as high-intensity farmlands (which are unlikely to be taken out of production). We will also map direct and indirect threats to biodiversity (e.g., hunting pressure) and proxies for opportunity costs, such as land value, and human population density.
