BrightSpace: Designing a Roadmap for Effective and Sustainable Strategies for Assessing and Addressing the Challenges of EU Agriculture to Navigate within a Safe and Just Operating Space

《欧洲绿色协议》的目标包括增加欧盟农业对气候变化行动的贡献，改善自然资源管理，确保农民获得公平的经济回报，并加强对生物多样性的保护。欧盟农业和食品实践目前没有走上实现绿色交易雄心和目标的正确轨道。这些目标是相互依存的，虽然往往是一致的，但它们也可能相互竞争。社会经济和环境结果之间的协同作用和权衡被汇集在安全和公正的操作空间（SJOS）的概念中，其中安全部分反映了生态系统的生物物理边界，公正部分反映了对所涉人民福祉的要求。决策者和舆论领袖往往缺乏足够的信息来衡量SJOS危机在他们国家的可能影响。在SJSpace合作响应这一挑战，通过设计有效和可持续的战略，在SJOS内导航。农业空间提供了一个分析工具箱，用于试验、分析和协调创新技术、治理结构以及与农业有关的短期和长期政策的影响，从而能够执行具有预期效果的一致、连贯和持久的战略。该项目强调了各国和各地区关于SJOS的挑战的多样性，并提供了关于SJOS相关驱动因素和结果之间因果关系的新的经验证据。为到2050年及以后可能的SJOS未来的中期和前瞻性预测开发了一个协调的数据框架和建模工具箱。对有效和可持续行动的支持将包括为欧盟在农业、气候变化、贸易和能源领域的政策确定技术、体制和面向消费者的选择的关键途径。

The European Green Deal, aims, among others, to increase the contribution of EU agriculture to climate change action, improve the management of natural resources, ensure a fair economic return for farmers, and reinforce the protection of biodiversity. EU agriculture and food practices are currently not on the right track to meet the Green Deal ambitions and objectives. These objectives are interdependent, and while often aligned, they may also compete. Synergies and trade-offs between socio-economic and environmental outcomes are brought together in the concept of a Safe and Just Operating Space (SJOS), where the Safe component reflects the biophysical boundaries of the ecosystem and the Just component the requirements for the well-being of the involved people. Policy makers and opinion leaders often lack sufficient information to gauge the likely effects of a SJOS crises in their country. The BrightSpace collaboration responds to this challenge by designing effective and sustainable strategies to navigate within a SJOS. BrightSpace provides an analytical toolbox to experiment, analyse, and coordinate the effects of innovative technologies, governance structures, as well as short- and long-term policies related to agriculture, thereby allowing for the execution of consistent, coherent, and lasting strategies with the desired consequences. The project emphasises the diversity of challenges regarding the SJOS across countries and regions and delivers new empirical evidence on cause-effect relations between drivers and outcomes relevant for the SJOS. A harmonised data framework and modelling toolbox are developed for medium-term and forward-looking projections of possible SJOS futures by 2050 and beyond. The support for effective and sustainable actions will include the identification of critical pathways for technological, institutional and consumer-oriented options for EU policies in the areas of agriculture, climate change, trade, and energy.
