To combat climate change, we need smart strategies that improve climate resilience. Reforestation plans are a crucial solution, but the complex role of forests as warming and cooling agents is still under debate. Supported by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) programme, the EcoClimate Navigator project will use advanced machine-learning algorithms, remote sensing technologies, and empirical assessments to investigate how intelligent reforestation plans can help mitigate local climate change. The project aims to contribute to ongoing policy discussions related to reforestation and expand our understanding of how forests play a vital role in climate regulation on a global scale. The project’s findings will provide detailed and novel insights beyond our current knowledge.
