The project emerged from the need to develop a spatial concept for the Swiss confederation, legally binding also for the cantons, that identifies priority areas for development, protection, and compensation of infrastructure in mountainous areas which are dynamic systems that provide a wide range of ecosystem services, including biodiversity conservation, hydropower generation, and recreational opportunities.  In this context, this DP will employ remote sensing, biodiversity monitoring, and multi-objective optimisation methods to analyse potential locations for renewable energy systems, as well as engagement methods for involving stakeholders in the optimisation process. Various stakeholders will be engaged, including representatives from the Canton of Grisons (Office of Energy, Economy and Tourism, Spatial Planning, Agriculture, Forests and Natural Hazards), the Swiss Federal Office of Spatial Planning, energy companies and NGOs.
