The novelty of this guideline primarily lies in its systematic, operational and practical step-by-step approach to establishing a policy lab to co-design policy innovation on land use governance. It transforms broader theoretical concepts and dispersed information into actionable, hands-on guidelines, incorporating specific methodologies and considerations. The integration of concrete examples from the MOSAIC project also contributes to its practical relevance and contributes to its overall novelty. It is designed for all who's seeking to drive policy innovation and who works at the science-policy interface. Potential users include professionals from governmental organizations, universities, research institutions and funding bodies and NGOs.
