The training session ARIES (Artificial Intelligence for Ecosystem Services) will illustrate how the ARIES modelling framework implements integration and interoperability approaches through semantic web modelling and how this approach can overcome some of the common challenges of data and model integration, providing a broad range of collaborative models from simple to complex, while efficiently reusing scientific and stakeholder knowledge and sharing it with the larger ecosystem services community.Alivedemowill show how its web interface k.Explorerworks.

El cambio climático y la conservación de la biodiversidad son los dos grandes retos ambientales de nuestra época. Uno de los grandes retos sociales es la equidad, que es además uno de los pilares fundamentales de la Agenda 2030 de Naciones Unidas y los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS). Estudios previos han analizado las relaciones entre cambio climático y biodiversidad, mostrando una correlación positiva entre ambas variables.

The Paris Agreement introduced an ambitious goal of limiting warming to 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels. Here we combine a review of modelled pathways and literature on mitigation strategies, and develop a land-sector roadmap of priority measures and regions that can help to achieve the 1.5 °C temperature goal. Transforming the land sector and deploying measures in agriculture, forestry, wetlands and bioenergy could feasibly and sustainably contribute about 30%, or 15 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (GtCO2e) per year, of the global mitigation needed in 2050 to deliver on the 1.5 °C target, but it will require substantially more effort than the 2 °C target
