LIVING LABS
ALFAwetlands applies the concept of Living Labs to demonstrate the impact of restoration approaches on greenhouse gas emissions as well as biodiversity and
ecosystem services, engage stakeholders in co-creation of knowledge to support identification of successful and acceptable wetland restoration approaches, and assess the social and economic impacts of restoration.
Spatial analyses, modelling and scenario analysis are used throughout the project to provide spatially explicit results and enable upscaling of local and regional findings in living labs on a national and EU level.
Biodiversity and ecosystem services provide a consistent and shared framework for linking ecosystems and human well-being. They also show how wetland restoration influences ecosystems and society in terms of climate change mitigation and other biodiversity and ecosystem services.
