Development of a Decision Support System to Achieve LULUCF Objectives, Selection of the Optimal Set of Measures, and Estimation of Necessary Financing Project leader Aleksejs Nipers Duration 2023 - 2023 Research focus 4. Development and adaptation of technologies for obtaining high-value agricultural and forest products, as well as in veterinary medicine Source of funding Ministry of Agriculture projects Description of project The aim of research To identify LULUCF measures that reduce GHG emissions, enhance carbon sequestration, and assess their socio-economic and environmental impacts to support evidence-based policymaking. The tasks of project: Analyze socio-economic implications of five scenarios for achieving LULUCF targets under the National Energy and Climate PlanDevelop an interactive simulation framework to evaluate the impact of different measures on GHG emissions, employment, and habitat qualityCreate algorithms to model the interactions and scalability of LULUCF measuresDesign a geospatial visualization tool to support impact assessmentAssess the feasibility of aggregating results at the regional level Results Evidence-based insights for policymakers balancing sustainability and socio-economic needs. A functional interactive framework for simulating LULUCF measures. A geospatial tool for visualizing and assessing impacts. Improved regional policy planning for LULUCF targets.
