Virtual labs for accountability in land use decision making around solar parks

理由：太阳能园区的土地利用变化管理越来越重要，虚拟实验室方法将通过支持一种本质上开放、透明和综合的方法来支持问责制，从而为理解太阳能园区对气候和生态紧急情况的影响提供一个步骤。太阳能公园既有改善生态系统的潜力，也有破坏生态系统的潜力，但无法获得的数据阻碍了人们的洞察力。一些公司积极投资于生态改善，但他们的努力没有得到验证，而另一些公司什么也不做，尽管有行业最佳实践指南。目标：开发一个虚拟实验室，能够分析太阳能园区的环境影响，重点关注支持环境影响问责制的设计能力。

Rationale: The management of land use change for solar parks is increasingly critical and a virtual lab approach would provide a step-change in the understanding of their impacts on the climate and ecological emergencies by supporting an intrinsically open, transparent and integrative approach in support of accountability. Solar parks have the potential to both improve and degrade the hosting ecosystem, but inaccessible data prevents insight. Some companies actively invest in ecological enhancements but their efforts go unvalidated whilst others do nothing, despite industry best practice guidelines.Aim: To develop a virtual lab that enables analysis of the environmental impacts of solar parks with a focus on design affordances that support accountability of environmental impacts.
