Analysis and mapping of trade-offs between renewable energy and ecosystem services : five cases from the Irenes interreg project

Challenging times and decisions to take for decision-makers involved in the design of energy strategy and plans. A team of researchers and technicians mapped similarities and differences among five different contexts, to choose an assessment method, apply it to the policy needs, and provide action-oriented information about renewable energy production and possible impact on other ecosystem services. Results for each context are presented and compared, to support decision makers towards sustainable energy production and valuable territories.
