Objectives

LEGATO aims at a combined assessment of the indicators of pressures on ESF/ESS, which are the social system, climate, land use, and biodiversity (in a somewhat hierarchical and nested way) and the impacted ESF/ESS, which for the aims of LEGATO are Aesthetics, Biocontrol and Production. The assessments a) start with stakeholder consultation processes and selected future scenarios of environmental impacts, b) investigate the options for ecological engineering under particular local settings (i.e. stakeholder interests and local futures under different scenarios) and c) are disseminated to and implemented by the stakeholder communities.
