LandShift

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

Land use and land management have a clear incidence on ecosystems. On the one hand, inadequate land management contributes to ecosystem degradation. This includes biodiversity loss and high carbon emissions. On the other hand, adequate land management can enhance the ecosystem functions of land. Sustainable land use and management have more important carbon sequestration capacities and lower carbon emission. This is what LandShift wants to foster. 

LandShift aims at bridging the gap between land-use practices and carbon emissions. The overall objective of LandShift is to develop sustainable land use and land management methods, and to disseminate them throughout LULUC(F) policymakers’ and stakeholders’ communities. LandShift tackles land use and land use change from a technical and social perspective. The findings will reflect local (regional) social circumstances. 

The role of ELO is crucial. Indeed, the core of its contribution will be (1) to translate the scientific and technical findings into documents directed at policymakers, (2) transmit them to the adequate political arena in a timely manner, and (3) to emulate and disseminate the stakes, challenges and findings of the projects by organising and moderating experts’ workshops.
