One-day workshop
A one‑day workshop bringing together the people who map, model, and plan Denmark's land — land‑cover data, climate scenarios and projections, and the economics and policy that decide what actually happens on the ground.
Hosted by DK‑Future at
Denmark's land is under pressure from several directions at once — a changing climate, the green tripartite agreement, food production, nature restoration, and energy. The data, models, and analyses that describe those pressures sit with different universities, agencies, and think tanks.
This workshop, hosted by the DK‑Future project, brings them together for a day. The programme runs from the data foundations — land‑cover mapping, Klimaatlas, and regional climate projections — to the effects of the green tripartite agreement, then through ecosystem services, land‑use prioritisation, and environmental economics, closing with a roundtable, with long breaks for discussion.
Who should attend: researchers working on land use, remote sensing, climate, agriculture, and environmental economics; and practitioners in municipal and national planning, environmental agencies, and consultancy.

This presentation will describe an ongoing large scale modelling project aimed at providing a new analytical tool to estimate the economic and environmental effects of the Tripartite Agreement under alternative scenarios for its implementation. The project will link an environmental and climate economic model of the Danish economy (GreenREFORM) to a detailed model of Danish land use and its environmental consequences (TargetEcon).

Prospects of major land use changes constitute challenges to the inhabitants. In democratic countries such changes imply open deliberation and citizen involvement. Various dimensions of a landscape democracy are presented, and the usefulness of alternative land-use scenarios is discussed in relation to examples of national and local land use deliberations.

The GreenREFORM model describes Danish agricultural production and emissions across ten different agricultural industries. It accounts for important linkages between these industries, as well as the demand for agricultural land. Land use can shift between agricultural production and other uses depending on relative profitability.
Mette Termansen · IFRO, University of Copenhagen
To be announced.
