The Kickoff meeting of The LUC4C (Land use change: assessing the net climate forcing, and options for climate change mitigation and adaptation) project will take place in Garmisch (Germany), at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology ( Dept. Atmospheric Environmental Research – IMK-IFU).
During the four days of meeting all the partners will meet to plan and launch the activities of the project that aims to advance the fundamental knowledge of the interactions between climate change and landuse change, and in doing so develops a framework for the synthesis of complex earth system science into guidelines that are of practical use for policy and societal stakeholders.
The main objectives of the project are:
- discern the key elements of land use that have the largest effect on climate, including their dependencies across time and space;
- develop innovative methods to better quantify the dynamic interactions between land use and the climate system at different time and space scales;
- deliver a portfolio of synthesis products and best practice guidelines for the identification of benefits or adverse effects of land-based mitigation options across different scenarios and where conflicts occur, the need for trade-offs.
