FP7 Phenotype

FP7 EnviroGRIDS

"Building Capacity for a Black Sea Basin Observation and Assessment System supporting Sustainable Development"
Objectives : to set up an infrastructure and to implement analytical modules that will enable the production time series of prospective demographic data to be used as input for the hydrological catchment models (WP 4) as well as for the impact assessments of impacts on societal benefit areas (WP5). The demographic data and models should also be of use for any other users interested in harmonised, disaggregated and projected information on population distribution.

SNIS Livesur

Governance of Forest Multiple Outcomes in the Bolivian Lowlands (GOFOR-Bolivia) Livelihood and Sustainability Research (SNIS Project)

Objectives : the project aims to: 1) create understanding of how institutional arrangements are linked to site-specific patterns of Land Use, Land Cover and Forestry Changes (LULCFC); 2) assess the livelihood outcomes related to different forms of forest and agricultural practices, considering their implications for biodiversity conservation and carbon sequestration.
