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

Raffaella Brumana

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 datadriven 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.
