ODS 15 - Proteger a vida terrestre

A Univerdade NOVA de Lisboa desenvolve a sua ação em torno do ODS 15 colaborando a nível local e Europeu na proteção da terra.

DESTAQUES

• Financed by Erasmus +, ENABLE aims to establish a European education platform to create awareness about the functioning of ecosystems and the benefits of sustainable landscape management, demonstrating that sustainability and profitability can go hand in hand and that the gap between economy and ecology can be bridged.
• The project Desert-Adapt is developed under the LIFE+ Climate Action sub-program, Adaptation climate priority. Adaptation to climate change is of particular importance for the Mediterranean region which is experiencing increasingly negative climate change effects such as drought and extreme temperature more than other areas in Europe. The project will focus on Adaptation measures aimed at reverting ongoing desertification trends and building more climate resilient local communities. Additionally, it will also address the policy priority of Mitigation, by restoring vegetation cover and soil organic content, resulting in net removals of CO2 from the atmosphere.
