Community-Led Creation of Living Spaces in Shifting Landscapes for Climate-Resilient Land Use Management and Supporting the New European Bauhaus

Project description

Solutions for sustainable land use management

Climate change, biodiversity loss and unsustainable land management practices represent urgent challenges for the EU’s climate goals. The EU-funded LandShift project will develop solutions to reduce biogenic emissions, enhance ecosystem resilience and promote sustainable resource management. It supports the EU’s climate goals by maximising net removals from land use, land use change and forestry and minimising emissions from agriculture. Utilising Living Earths and integrating FAO LCCS with optimised Earth observation data will help to implement tailored strategies for local contexts, emphasising stakeholder engagement. The project will incorporate nature-based solutions, in line with the New European Bauhaus, and establish robust monitoring, reporting and verification systems to measure its strategies’ impact on emissions and ecosystem health.

Objective

LandShift is a groundbreaking initiative aimed at addressing the urgent challenges of climate change, biodiversity loss, and unsustainable land management practices. With a focus on the EU's land-use sector, LandShift seeks to develop innovative solutions that not only mitigate biogenic emissions but also enhance ecosystem resilience and promote sustainable resource management. LandShift aims to support the EU's ambitious climate goals by maximizing net removals from LULUCF, while minimizing biogenic emissions from agriculture. By strategically utilizing Living Earths, integrating FAO LCCS with optimized EO data, and Data Cubes as centralized data hubs, the project aims to implement tailored strategies for local and regional contexts, fostering stakeholder engagement and collaboration. Central to LandShift's approach is the integration of NBS aligned with the principles of the New European Bauhaus. These solutions leverage natural processes and ecosystems to enhance carbon sequestration, improve biodiversity, and strengthen ecosystem services. By harnessing the power of NBS, LandShift aims to create synergies between climate mitigation, biodiversity conservation, and sustainable land management. Furthermore, LandShift recognizes the importance of data-driven decision-making and monitoring to track progress and inform policy development. The project will establish robust MRV systems to ensure the effectiveness of implemented strategies and measure their impact on biogenic emissions, biodiversity, and ecosystem health. In addition to technical solutions, LandShift places a strong emphasis on policy influence and capacity building. Through targeted outreach and engagement activities, the project aims to raise awareness, build capacity, and foster collaboration among stakeholders at all levels. By empowering policymakers, land managers, and local communities, LandShift seeks to create an enabling environment for sustainable land use sector and management practices.
