Land use-based Adaptation and Mitigation Solution (LAMS) suitability maps

These maps provide the suitable area (maximum available area) for the potential implementation of the specific proposed LAMS. The suitability map includes 4 classes: not suitable (0), least suitable (1), moderately suitable (2) and most suitable (3). Maps for 13 different LAMS (from the LAMS catalogue V1-1) have been developed for the six RethinkAction case studies, when possible.

The codes and the names of the LAMS are the following:

LAMS03-EstGra: Establishment (conversion to) of permanent grassland

LAMS14-SpaPla: Spatial planning for the sustainable deployment of energy on land

LAMS15-PhoPla: Photovoltaic plants

LAMS21-AgrPla: Agrovoltaic farms

LAMS22-IncFor: Increased portion of forests included under protected areas

LAMS23-RefAff: Reforestation/afforestation

LAMS31-UrbSpr: Limiting urban sprawl

LAMS32-GreUrb: Establishment and maintenance of green urban ecosystems

LAMS44-IncCul: Increase in cultivated area

LAMS49-FloSol: Floating solar photovoltaic panels in water bodies

LAMS50-SolPan: Solar panels in rooftops/buildings

LAMS55-WatHar: Water harvesting: collect and store rain water in reservoirs

LAMS59-LanMan: Land management of solar photovoltaic systems land
