TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an analytical framework for the mapping and assessment of ecosystems and their services, abbreviated to MAES, which is seen as a key action for the advancement of biodiversity objectives, and also to inform the development and implementation of related policies.

TL;DR: In this article, the potential of European regions to solar power generation and its comparison with recent European Union (EU) incentives for the development of this renewable energy source was assessed using a multi-criteria assessment (MCA) supported by Geographical Information System (GIS) to combine already existing information on solar radiation with other geographical factors such as slope, land use, urban extent and population distribution, as well as proximity to the power grid to generate a suitability map for photovoltaic (PV) power plants across the EU at high spatial resolution.

TL;DR: It is estimated that every additional percent increase of the proportion of artificial land needs to be compensated with an increase of 2.2 % of land that qualifies as green infrastructure in order to maintain ecosystem services at 2010 levels.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show how single and multi-hazard damage to energy, transport, industrial, and social critical infrastructures in Europe are likely to develop until the year 2100 under the influence of climate change.

TL;DR: The second MAES report as mentioned in this paper presents indicators that can be used at European and Member State's level to map and assess biodiversity, ecosystem condition and ecosystem services according to the Common International Classification of Ecosystem Services (CICES v4.3).
