Land use policies and sustainable development in developing Countries

Objective

The proposed project will develop integrated assessment tools for sustainable development for application by scientists in a selected number of developing countries. Attention will be given to both natural and agricultural ecosystems. The project provides assessment procedures that enable documentation and understanding on impacts of land use policies on sustainable development, taking into account multi-functionalities and European policy options on biodiversity, climate and trade. More, specifically, the project will include the following actions:
- Design of an analytical framework to assess the impact of land use policies on the sustainable development of developing countries;
- Identify the key driving forces for the utilization of land and their impacts on sustainable development and externalities;
- Tools developed in SENSOR and SEAMLESS will be used both as building blocks in and guidelines for this project;
- Select, adapt and apply tools for understanding, planning and forecasting the impacts of land use policies. Their generic nature will be assessed. Multifunctional land use and European and developing country policy options are taken into consideration. Links between competitiveness, global agreements and land use in the EU will be analysed;
- Define indicators and explore their thresholds in the context of sustainable development. This will be done at regional and national levels. The analysis will include multiple sectors and attention will be given to biodiversity, supply of public goods and services;
- Enhance existing knowledge in the field of data management.
