Climate change is changing landscapes – and with them, the services they provide for people and the environment. Which landscape services are strengthened or debilitated largely depends on political decisions and social practices. By engaging diverse stakeholders and sectors, an integrated landscape approach fosters sustainable solutions. Conflicting goals can be constructively managed, and synergies harnessed to safeguard landscape qualities and services. Local and regional projects demonstrate how this can be put into practice.

Thanks to a voucher, General Atomics Synopta and FHNW launched a collaboration that achieved a key milestone in drone-based optical communication, successfully demonstrating a laser link between a drone platform and an optical ground station. The results pave the way for the next phase: testing quantum communication protocols via drone under realistic atmospheric conditions.
