Synopsis (short abstract) Land-use planning is increasingly being recognized as a central part of the formulation and implementation of strategies to reduce deforestation and forest degradation, contributing to both climate change mitigation and adaptation. Conflicting interests and competition over land and resources have been major driving forces of forest conversion, with increasing pressure due to population growth, degradation of lands, economic interests and, not least, the impact of climate change.

    Land Resources planning (LRP) to address land degradation and promote sustainable land management 2018
    Also available in:
    The growing challenges of population growth, demands on limited resources by diverse actors, land degradation, biodiversity loss and climate change require the rational use of resources to sustain and enhance productivity and maintain resilient ecosystems. The availability of suitable planning tools and information to support the decision-makers at different scales and across sectors is limited. Sustainable development projects and initiatives implemented by resource partners and governments require updated land resource planning (LRP) tools that integrate all sectors, make better use of technology, introduce SLM practices and follow a people-centered multiscale approach. The factsheet wishes to illustrate tools and approaches for Land Resources Planning.
