Transforming land-use management to meet Europe’s climate, biodiversity, and food system goals remains a complex challenge. Competing demands for land, fragmented governance frameworks, and limited integration of local perspectives often hinder the transition towards climate-resilient and inclusive land-use solutions.
The Horizon Europe project LandShift addresses these challenges through a community-led, place-based approach that puts people, nature, and science at the centre of land-use decision-making.
To introduce its mission and vision to a wider audience, LandShift has released a new promotional video, now available on YouTube. The video provides a clear and accessible overview of the project’s objectives, its five Living Spaces, and the innovative methods used to co-create sustainable land-use pathways across Europe.
From Research to Real Landscapes
The LandShift promotional video highlights how the project moves beyond abstract policy discussions by working directly within five Living Spaces in France, Greece, Italy, Poland, and Ukraine. These Living Spaces function as real-world environments where local communities, researchers, policymakers, and practitioners collaborate to design, test, and govern Nature-Based Solutions tailored to local needs and conditions.
Through the video, viewers can discover how LandShift:
- Brings together local knowledge, scientific research, and policy expertise
- Uses Earth Observation data, artificial intelligence, and advanced monitoring tools to support evidence-based land-use planning
- Applies the principles of the New European Bauhaus, combining sustainability, inclusiveness, and aesthetics
- Supports balanced solutions that address climate mitigation and adaptation, biodiversity protection, and sustainable food and biomass production
Together, these elements form a coherent framework for climate-resilient land-use management that can be adapted and replicated across Europe.
Designed to Be Watched, Shared, and Engaged With
The promotional video is designed as an entry point for a broad range of audiences, including policymakers, regional authorities, researchers, practitioners, and citizens. Rather than presenting technical detail, it invites viewers to understand the why, how, and where of LandShift, and to follow the project as insights and results begin to emerge from the Living Spaces.
By making this video openly available, LandShift reinforces its commitment to transparency, knowledge sharing, and public engagement, encouraging stakeholders to follow the project’s progress and take part in the wider conversation on Europe’s land-use future.
