The Mediterranean region is a climate change hotspot, experiencing increasing land degradation driven by a combination of anthropogenic pressures, extreme weather events, and shifting climate patterns. Rising temperatures, prolonged droughts, and unsustainable land use threaten ecosystems, biodiversity, and local livelihoods, making effective land restoration strategies more urgent than ever.

The LanDS Dashboard is an innovative decision-support tool designed to tackle not only land degradation and desertification in the Mediterranean, but also its great potential for land restoration. This ensures a comprehensive approach, combining scientific analysis with expert knowledge to support sustainable land restoration strategies.
