LANDMARC Horizon2020

It's less than a month to go until our Policy Dialogue event in Brussels! 🎟️ 👉🏽 https://lnkd.in/eRYAg7XH We've got a terrific lineup of speakers who will be taking a close look at how well EU policy is keeping up with the latest developments in Carbon Farming, Carbon Capture and Storage/Utilization, and Carbon Dioxide Removal technologies. Check out the full agenda below! This event is open to anyone interested in European climate policy, and especially those interested in Carbon Farming, Carbon Dioxide Removal, and in using captured carbon in industrial processes. Kindly hosted by Cities Northern Netherlands, it's organised in collaboration with RESCUE climate and ConsenCUS.

🌍Upcoming Climate Adaptation Event in Madrid! 🌱 The MAIA project is hosting its first Adapting to Climate Change live event on November 27 in Madrid. “The Power of Adaptation: Businesses and Cities Responding to Climate Change” is a free 2-hour event that will bring together researchers, businesses, policy-makers, and citizens to discuss collaboration opportunities for climate adaptation. 📅 Event Details: Date: November 27, 2024 Time: 17:30 – 19:30 CET Location: Sala Taller 1, Larra Laboratorio de Periodismo, Calle Larra 14, Madrid Language: Spanish Admission: Free (places are limited, so registration is required!) 🔗 Sign up here: https://lnkd.in/efPe89Jy This is a great chance to explore how different sectors are tackling climate challenges and to connect with others working on adaptation. If you’re unable to attend, the event will be recorded. Feel free to share this post or the attached flyer to help spread the word.

This morning we have another great story to highlight about the work Kenya case study lead Moritz Laub and his collaborators have been doing -- this one published in African Plant Nutrition Institute (APNI)'s Growing Africa publication. Check it out: https://lnkd.in/eqJnpVsK Marc Corbeels Samuel Mathu Ndungu Rebecca Yegon Daniel Mugendi Bernard Vanlauwe Johan Six

Over the last few years, LANDMARC's Moritz Laub and his collaborators Patrick Nyaga, Rebecca Yegon, and Johan Six have been researching how to improve soil health and fertility in Kenya -- something that is not only good for the climate, but which can also improve maize production -- a major concern for Kenyan farmers. Here's what they have found, and how to implement these findings in practice. #kenya #sustainable #agriculture #netzero #climateresilience

📢 Save the date! 📆 28 November 2024, Brussels Join the #policy debate on: #CarbonFarming #CarbonDioxideRemovals #CarbonCapture Meet us at the final event of the LANDMARC Horizon2020, project hosted together with ConsenCUS, and RESCUE climate project. 💺 Make sure to reserve a seat via the registration link. https://lnkd.in/edKrPbUt CINEA - European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency

📅 Save the date! LANDMARC's final policy event is happening in Brussels on 28 November 2024. Sign up here: https://lnkd.in/eTGuVp_r To reach the world’s climate goals, governments should consider ways of removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere in addition to stepping up efforts to reduce emissions. This means we should be thinking about a variety of mitigation approaches. This includes Carbon Farming (CF), Carbon Capture and Storage/Utilization (CCS/CCU) and Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) technologies. At this policy event we will explore what governments can do (and what they are already doing) to help scale these solutions up in time to meet our collective climate ambitions. Discover this and much more at our final event! This event is organised in collaboration with RESCUE climate and ConsenCUS.

➡️ As part of the LANDMARC Horizon2020 project, insights gleaned from local and regional case studies are integrated into a land-use model (LANDSHIFT-G) with a global climate model (EC-Earth). ➡️ This approach enables us to comprehensively model the intricate interactions between climate dynamics, vegetation patterns, and land use practices. Preliminary findings underscore the critical role of land-based mitigation technologies (LMTs) alongside robust emission reduction strategies in combatting the climate crisis. 🌍 Check out an overview of this work in the infographic below. ⬇️ #ClimateModeling #SustainabilityResearch #ClimateAction

🌿🌿🌿 Not only does #Biogas offer a solution for managing organic waste but it also contributes to emissions reduction, tackling two pressing challenges simultaneously. ➡️ In #Ukraine alone, the potential for biogas production is estimated to cover at least 25% of the country's current natural gas consumption, signaling a significant opportunity for sustainable energy development. ➡️ Efforts within in LANDMARC Horizon2020 have pinpointed optimal locations for biogas installation, yet further exploration is required to ensure profitable utilization of all by-products generated during biogas production. Check out more on the implementation of Biogas in Ukraine in the infographic below. ⬇️⬇️⬇️ #Biogas #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability

➡️ As part of the LANDMARC Horizon2020 project, the ALCES tool models landscape composition and carbon dynamics in response to projected land use alterations. ➡️ Offering a powerful tool for analyzing the implications of different land use scenarios on carbon dynamics and landscape transformations, this model provides valuable insights for sustainable land management strategies. 🌿🌿🌿 Currenlty this work spans diverse regions such as the Netherlands, Burkina Faso, Vietnam, Canada, Indonesia, Venezuela, Nepal, Spain, and Switzerland. ⬇️ Check out the model in the infographic below. ⬇️

➡️ As part of the LANDMARC Horizon2020 project, the E3ME model offers a comprehensive understanding of the intricate connections between changes in the global economy, energy consumption, and environmental dynamics. ➡️ By examining the interplay among economy, energy, and environment on a global scale, the model provides valuable insights into the potential impacts of green policies and technologies on various aspects such as job markets, industries, and emissions. 📈🏭🌿 Currenlty this work spans regions such as the Netherlands, Switzerland, Germany, and Sweden. 🌍🌍🌍 ⬇️ Check out the model more in the infographic below. ⬇️ #LandBasedMitigation #SustainabilityAnalysis #StrategicDecisionMaking
