WG3 – Effects of Land use and climate changes (LU/CC) on ES

LU/CC are the main drivers on island environments. In close collaboration with other WGs, WG3 will assess projected global change impacts on European islands.
Its objectives are to

  • (1) perform an integrated LU/CC assessment on European islands (Tasks 3.1– 3.3) and
  • (2) evaluate the relationship between LU & CC interaction and ES provision in European islands (Tasks 3.3).

These activities will benefit from (and feed into) the LUCAS CORDEX FPS (https://www.hzg.de/ms/cordex_fps_lucas/index.php.en).
