LandShift is a groundbreaking initiative aimed at addressing the urgent challenges of climate change, biodiversity loss, and unsustainableland management practices. With a focus on the EU's land-use sector, LandShift seeks to develop innovative solutions that not onlymitigate biogenic emissions but also enhance ecosystem resilience and promote sustainable resource management. LandShift aims tosupport the EU's ambitious climate goals by maximizing net removals from LULUCF, while minimizing biogenic emissions fromagriculture. By strategically utilizing Living Earths, integrating FAO LCCS with optimized EO data, and Data Cubes as centralized datahubs, the project aims to implement tailored strategies for local and regional contexts, fostering stakeholder engagement and collaboration.Central to LandShift's approach is the integration of NBS aligned with the principles of the New European Bauhaus. These solutionsleverage natural processes and ecosystems to enhance carbon sequestration, improve biodiversity, and strengthen ecosystem services. Byharnessing the power of NBS, LandShift aims to create synergies between climate mitigation, biodiversity conservation, and sustainableland management. Furthermore, LandShift recognizes the importance of data-driven decision-making and monitoring to track progressand inform policy development. The project will establish robust MRV systems to ensure the effectiveness of implemented strategiesand measure their impact on biogenic emissions, biodiversity, and ecosystem health. In addition to technical solutions, LandShift placesa strong emphasis on policy influence and capacity building. Through targeted outreach and engagement activities, the project aims toraise awareness, build capacity, and foster collaboration among stakeholders at all levels. By empowering policymakers, land managers,and local communities, LandShift seeks to create an enabling environment for sustainable land use sector and management practices.
