Robust strategies to achieve sustainable savannas under rapid global change

该项目旨在为金融激励计划设计方法，这些计划对全球气候和经济变化的不确定性具有鲁棒性，同时提供多种生态系统服务。尽管向土地所有者分配了数十亿美元，但这些计划尚未根据一系列潜在的未来进行评估。该项目预计将纳入奖励计划设计的不确定性前所未有的范围，并使用空间模拟澳大利亚的动态稀树草原牧场测试程序的性能。这应该为应用于其他面临类似不确定未来的环境奠定基础，并可能证明对确保我们能够在不断变化的气候中适应和繁荣至关重要

This project aims to design approaches for financial incentive programs that are robust to uncertainties in global climate and economic change, while delivering multiple ecosystem services. Despite billions of dollars allocated to landholders, these schemes have not been evaluated under a range of potential futures. This project expects to incorporate an unprecedented range of uncertainties into incentive program design, and test program performance using spatial simulations of Australia’s dynamic savanna rangelands. This should lay the groundwork for applications to other environments facing similarly uncertain futures, and may prove vital to ensure we can adapt and thrive in a changing climate
