Description

Highlights

Land system dynamics from seven Mediterranean case studies are discussed.

Despite the diversity of contexts captured, transversal patterns were found.

Data shows disconnection between expected and desired futures.

Territorial actors can identify opportunities and actions towards desired futures.

Embedding actors within dynamics enables to frame local actions as drivers of change.
