DISTENDER

DevelopIng STratEgies by integrating mitigatioN, aDaptation and participation to climate changE Risks

DISTENDER  is an EU-funded project that develops actionable strategies for climate change mitigation and adaptation by integrating technical measures with participatory approaches. The project brings together scientists, businesses, governments, policymakers, and citizens to co-create solutions.

DISTENDER tests its holistic approach through five EU case studies addressing specific climate risks, with six additional Follower Case Studies planned for replication. The project will also deliver a Decision Support System (DSS) to help policymakers effectively utilize and scale up DISTENDER’s knowledge, tools, and recommendations.

The case studies—located in Austria, Spain, Portugal, Italy, and the Netherlands—serve as focal points for methodology development and climate action knowledge. Within this framework, EURAF leads the representation of the Dehesas (Spain) and Montados (Portugal) case study, actively participating in its characterization and the initial identification of agricultural climate impacts. 
 

Between 2023 and 2025, EURAF organized three stakeholder workshops that produced four Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs) for Dehesas and Montados case.:

  1. SSP1: Optimistic Silvo-pastoralism

  2. SSP3: Unsustainable Management for a Dehumanized World

  3. SSP4: Chronicle of a Death Foretold

  4. SSP5: Bye-bye Dehesa and Montado

Thanks to these workshops, 64 strategies were developed and were later assessed against 26 indicators. These contributions and outcomes have been key in socio-economic scenarios and land use modelling for Dehesas and Montados case and they have fed and can be explored in DISTENDER Decision Support System (DSS).
