Paulo Alexandre da Silva Pereira

Paulo Alexandre da Silva Pereira is a researcher at Mykolas Romeris University in Vilnius, Lithuania, affiliated with the Faculty of Public Governance and Business, Institute of Public Administration, and Environmental Management Laboratory. His work focuses on ecosystem services, environmental management, and climate change mitigation strategies across urban, national, and European contexts.

His research spans multiple critical environmental domains with emphasis on ecosystem services mapping and valuation in urban territories. He investigates how land use patterns and climate change scenarios impact ecosystem service provision in Lithuania's major cities including Vilnius, Kaunas, and Klaipėda. His work extends to soil health economics, developing frameworks for incorporating soil ecosystem services valuation into business models, and forest management optimization for carbon sequestration and climate-resilient European futures.

Dr. da Silva Pereira leads and participates in numerous European Commission-funded projects including MAFESUR (Mapping and Forecasting Ecosystem Services in Urban Territories), InBestSoil (monetary valuation of soil ecosystem services), OptFor-EU (forest management optimization), and LINESAM (Lithuania's National Ecosystem Services Assessment and Mapping). His research bridges scientific knowledge with practical policy implementation, contributing to national strategies like Lithuania's Vision 2050 and supporting international initiatives including the EU Biodiversity Strategy 2030 and UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Working within the Environmental Management Laboratory and Social Innovations Laboratory Network, Dr. da Silva Pereira employs interdisciplinary methodologies involving stakeholder engagement, spatial analysis, and scenario development. His research has direct applications for urban planning, environmental policy formulation, and sustainable land management practices across Europe.
