Renewable Energy and Landscape Quality (original) (raw)

The paper discusses the interconnection between renewable energy production and landscape quality, highlighting the necessity for integrated approaches to mitigate climate change impacts. Through the COST Action TU1401 initiative, an extensive research network was formed, involving over 200 participants from 37 countries, to explore the relationship between renewable energy systems and landscape quality, emphasizing public engagement and interdisciplinary collaboration. The findings present a comprehensive overview of best practices for sustainable, landscape-compatible renewable energy production and propose strategies for enhancing public acceptance of renewable energy projects.
