Planning Land Use Strategies: Meeting biodiversity, climate and social objectives in a changing world
About us
PLUS Change is an EU-funded Horizon project that aims to create strategies and decision-making processes for land use, addressing issues related climate change, biodiversity, and human well-being. By bringing together a diverse range of stakeholders and incorporating case studies from across Europe, the project focuses on understanding the relationships between urban, regional, and peri-urban areas. The ultimate goal is to generate knowledge and drive transformative change towards a sustainable world. The PLUS Change consortium consists of 23 different partners, involving transdisciplinary expertise from the sciences, social sciences, humanities, and arts. Our 12 Practice Cases are real-world examples of land use decision making and action within a geographic area, and include Amsterdam, NL; Nitra City, SK; Flanders, BE; Kaigu Wetland, LV; Park Ela, CH; Province of Lucca, IT; Green Karst, SI; Three Countries Park, DE, BE, & NL; South Moravia, CZ; Surrey, UK; Ile de France, FR; Mazovian Region, PL.

That's the question participants were tasked with in Kaigu Peatland's co-creative #PossibleLandscapes session! 🌿 Kaigu Peatland is a natural territory located in central Latvia, an hour from Riga. While the northern part of the peatland is a Natura 2000 protected area, the southern part is dedicated to peat extraction and recultivation of extracted peatland. Led by Biobased Creations and Baltic Studies Centre, stakeholders focused primarily on the southern section , exploring how to future-proof the local business model in such a way that benefits both people and nature. During the session, participants were divided into groups to discuss new opportunities and future scenarios, coming up with ideas for wet cultivation, recreation, and the establishment of a new energy cooperative!

Thanks to the PLUS Change Project, I was introduced to #Circuville - a fantastic drawing and audio story about a sustainable society that is possible today and, hopefully, will be realized tomorrow. Today, the Department of Ecological Safety and Nature Protection Activity, Lviv Polytechnic National University tried to understand and follow the stories of one of the main characters - a builder, farmer, scientist, politician or banker. What is even more interesting is that you can listen to their stories to discover the world based on the principles of Sustainable Development of today and tomorrow. Stories are available on the website 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eSAeTmRG I would like to note that #Circuville was created by Biobased Creations for PLUS Change Project. Students have the opportunity to join in transformational changes 💡, and scientists from the V. Chornovil Institute for Sustainable Development Lviv Polytechnic National University will be able to identify ways to implement land use strategies, including key points of intervention and stakeholders in Ukraine. #HorizonEurop #LandUsePlanning #Equity #Ethics #EnvironmentalJustice #TransdisciplinaryResearch

Have you ever experienced that moment when everything suddenly clicks? You discover something, and then, as you stumble upon related references and connections, it all begins to make sense. Yesterday, I was translating the storyline of the "Builder," a character from Circuville—a virtual, sustainable city created as part of the PLUS Change Project (link)—when I came across a video of a real company building houses in the same way (https://lnkd.in/eTWXyg5V). In Circuville, we imagine a future world that is already possible today, and this was a perfect real-life example. While fully circular and sustainable cities probably don’t exist yet, many initiatives and practices are already out there. It’s just a matter of discovering them and drawing inspiration from their potential.
