This project consists of a researcher group and involves PhD and Master's projects. Its goal is to: 1) Develop an in-depth understanding of the complex and multi-faceted system involved in land use changes affecting biodiversity. 2) Suggest solutions for how to quantify costs of land use changes, be it biodiversity or societal costs, that provides managers, corporations and stakeholders with tools for how to assess and implement costs of land use change into planning and decision-making processes. 3) Propose solutions for how to compensate e.g. through ecosystem restoration, which will provide a roadmap for a transformation towards sustainable land use that embraces multiple SDG.
