Land use change and agricultural management have a considerable impact on land patterns greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in dynamic urbanised landscapes. This study evaluated sustainable allocation strategies line with the European Green Deal. A constrained cellular automata model was employed to assess impacts of Business-as-Usual (BAU), Sharing (LSH), Sparing (LSP) scenarios, using open-access data from Flanders (Belgium). Under BAU, urban expansion reduced unregistered by 495 km2, leading higher GHG despite an 11% increase green space. LSH increased space 36% enhanced landscape diversity, while LSP improved habitat coherence 24%. Livestock-related methane (3.09 Mt CO2e) dominated emissions, comprising more than 75% total, cattle responsible for 73% emissions. Nitrous oxide 1.60 CO2e 1.44 1.43 (LSP), 1.42 (LSH) CO2e. Forest sequestration offset up 34% total removing −1.35 Deal measures mitigated all achieving highest gains. The results highlight need spatial that integrate practices balance productivity, nature conservation, climate action under

Abstract Urbanization is accelerating rapidly, highlighting the critical role of aligning with sustainable development goals, urban green and blue spaces (UGS UBS). These play a crucial in enhancing health well-being city residents terms ecology. Acknowledging importance ecology, this study utilizes Sentinel-2A data support vector machine classification, aimed to identify UGS UBS. To examine connections between UBS, specific indices, spectral bands, textures were calculated. Additionally, concentration chlorophyll, vital indicator ecological health, was assessed using three indices. Structural equation modeling employed elucidate relationship UBS their impact on chlorophyll for years 2017 2023. In model, exhibited positive path coefficient (0.25) chlorophyll-a, indicating that an increase associated levels. Conversely, 2023, turned negative (− 0.83), presenting stark contrast model. This shift suggests potential environmental or changes, such as alterations quality type spaces, potentially including more non-native ornamental plants contribute less overall can be subjected pollution, soil compaction, other stressors reduce plant health. Similarly, showed its from − 0.99 1.8 suggesting improvements cleaner water planning strategies at reducing pollution. The consistent across both bodies are not contributing Chl levels due complex interactions surroundings. However, further research essential delve into these dynamics comprehend implications sustainability.
