Food and land use (FOLU) systems are impacted by global warming but also contribute to warming and ecosystem challenges fragilising planetary
health. Climate impacts are already noticeable, and increasingly serious with continued warming. Consequences include challenges to food
production, ecosystem functioning, and human, animal and environmental health (i.e. OneHealth). Vulnerable groups and regions at inter and
intranational scale will suffer the most. Action across sustainability goals is urgently needed to cope with climate, and OneHealth risks, ensuring no one is left behind. An accurate assessment is needed to not largely underestimate the impacts of climate change by not representing the impacts of
extreme events and/or adaptation options, and limited policy cohesion, resulting in large uncertainties in future climate impacts at a local scale. Most modeling approaches lack transparency and flexibility to allow stakeholders to explore a large range of options and co-design future trajectories.
SOLVE project partners are local researchers, foundations, NGOs, farmers' organizations, and Ministries' representatives in 9 countries across 4 continents collaborating to develop local roadmaps for resilient, healthy, prosperous, and equitable food and land systems under climate change.
SOLVE will build on the open modeling tools developed in the FABLE Consortium, using an inclusive approach to ensure pragmatic and innovative solutions to meet multiple objectives and avoid maladaptation. Participatory model development will enhance understanding of the complex interactions between nature and people and the potential levers for adaptation. Co-creation will ensure engagement and ownership, increasing the likelihood of implementation. SOLVE will make innovations on four fronts: 1) Design and use participatory modeling approaches 2) Development
of national scenarios for future climate hazards, 3) Computation impacts on multi-species health, biodiversity, and vulner
