Resource-Efficient Land Use – Towards a Global Sustainable Land Use Standard (GLOBALANDS) | Umweltbundesamt

Given the challenges of future land use policies addressing sustainable natural resources manage-ment and socioeconomic aspects, the inter- and transdisciplinary GLOBALANDS (Global Land Use and Sustainability) project identified relevant international policy options, their synergies and possi-ble implementation, and initiated and supported respective processes. GLOBALANDS identified also “windows of opportunity” to strengthen sustainable land use through international policies based on an extensive screening of the most important international policies - both governmental and non-governmental approaches - with relevant impacts on land use.
