Ferlo Sine: Living lab for the co-construction of carbon neutrality scenarios in Senegal

This mobility will link thesis research on the subject of ‘Development of methods for monitoring land degradation based on remote sensing’ and the Ferlo Sine project.

The Ferlo Sine project is one of the six ‘Scenario Labs’ of the SLAM-B project, the second targeted project of the PEPR FairCarboN. Using the MAELIA modelling platform, Ferlo Sine aims to co-construct carbon neutral trajectories for Sahelian agro-sylvo-pastoral systems.

Recognising the links between carbon storage and sustainable land management, this mobility project aims to observe the ‘scenario lab’ approach and the role of modelling tools, including those based on remote sensing, to inform decision-making.
