Project description
How smart reforestation plans can mitigate local climate change
To combat climate change, we need smart strategies that improve climate resilience. Reforestation plans are a crucial solution, but the complex role of forests as warming and cooling agents is still under debate. Supported by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) programme, the EcoClimate Navigator project will use advanced machine-learning algorithms, remote sensing technologies, and empirical assessments to investigate how intelligent reforestation plans can help mitigate local climate change. The project aims to contribute to ongoing policy discussions related to reforestation and expand our understanding of how forests play a vital role in climate regulation on a global scale. The project’s findings will provide detailed and novel insights beyond our current knowledge.
Objective
"To address the escalating threat of climate change, there is an urgent need to develop smart strategies that bolster climate resilience. Within the context of climate change mitigation and adaptation policies, reforestation plans stand out as one of the most crucial natural-based solutions. However, the multifaceted role of forests as both warming and cooling agents presents a complicated challenge that remains a topic of ongoing debate. By employing cutting-edge machine learning algorithms, advanced remote sensing technologies, and comprehensive ground-based empirical assessments this proposal, titled ""EcoClimate Navigator"", aims to uncover how smart reforestation plans can contribute to mitigating local climate change. This project aims not only to enrich existing policy discussions around the topic of reforestation but also to add detailed and novel knowledge beyond what is already known on the role of forests in climate regulations at a global scale. In addition to the expected outstanding outputs of this project, the Marie Sklodowska-Curie Action program will set the Experienced Researcher (EI), Sara Alibakhshi, on the right track to build her academic career and eventually become one of the future leaders in the field. This program provides the EI with an excellent opportunity to conduct novel research along with new collaborations within the hosting organization and its partners, which is in line with the objectives of the Horizon Europe Framework Programme."
