Environmental Analysis and Resilience for Transformative Human-Optimized Natural Environments – EARTHONE

The mission of the EARTHONE project is to tackle the urgent challenge of preserving and enhancing Earth’s natural greenhouse gas (GHG) sinks. This involves understanding how various factors, including socio-economic, demographic, and physical constraints, influence GHG fluxes.

The project adopts a unique interdisciplinary approach by integrating advanced data-driven technologies with regional contexts through living labs. This allows for the development of effective multi-target solutions and guidelines for all stakeholders involved in Land Use – Land Use Change – Forestry (LULUCF) topics. Special emphasis is placed on the most vulnerable areas in Southern Europe and the Mediterranean, with pilot studies conducted in Spain, Greece, Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, and North Macedonia.

In EARTHONE, CYI’s Climate and Atmosphere Research Center (CARE-C) will primarily focus on applying regional climate models to evaluate the impacts of climate change on land use and the reciprocal effects. Special emphasis will be placed on assessing the impact on extreme weather events that are relevant to the pilot case studies.
