LAMS catalogue: design, development and deployment

Deliverable D4.6 “LAMS catalogue: design, development and deployment II” presents the outcomes of Task 4.4 “LAMS catalogue development, deployment and validation”. This is a revised version of the deliverable, still pending the final approval from the European Commission.The deliverable D4.6 consists of the definitive version of the Land use-based Adaptation and Mitigation Solutions (LAMS) catalogue that includes the parameters and variables identified and analyzed under T4.2 “LAMS catalogue requirements definition and specifications” and T4.3 “Analysis of synergies and trade-offs and definition of the KPI-driven evaluation framework of LAMS”, that are deemed to be relevant for the RethinkAction modelling activities and incorporated in the RethinkAction platform. The LAMS catalogue is submitted as an Excel-based file (deliverable type: OTHER), while the present Explanatory Note is elaborated to describe the final structure of the catalogue, the updates applied form the former version submitted with D4.5 (“LAMS catalogue: design, development and deployment I) and the LAMS factsheets. The definitive version of the catalogue includes 62 LAMS, consistent across scales (from EU/Global to national/local), that were analyzed in depth, including the identification of synergies, trade-offs, drivers, and barriers. The LAMS catalogue will be incorporated in the LAMS visualization RethinkAction platform, while a selection of the LAMS will be simulated and evaluated at different scales (both EU/global and local). Based on the results of the simulations and evaluation in the models under development in other tasks of the project, policy recommendations will be formulated and presented to the end-user community.
