The Water Framework Directive requires the development and implementation of river basin management plans for improving the ecological status of freshwater bodies throughout Europe. The scientific community supports this process by developing decision-support tools for identifying the principal...

Land degradation is a complex concept encompassing a variety of processes, natural or human induced, that affect the functioning of the land and the providing of ecosystem services. We propose a methodology to evaluate the impacts of future scenarios of socio-economic pathways and representative...

The land use, land use change and forestry (LULUCF) sector is a greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory sector that covers the emissions of GHGs from and their removal by terrestrial carbon stocks, living biomass, dead organic matter and soil organic carbon according to six main anthropogenic land use...

The Land Use Modelling Platform (LUMP) has been chosen to simulate land-use changes under a subset of scenarios (A1B). The modular structure of this platform, together with its high spatial resolution (100m), makes LUMP a suitable tool in the context of PESETAII. First, it guarantees high...

This study follows the methodology developed by the JRC (2010) for estimating changes in greenhouse gas emissions from global land use changes due to increased biofuels demand, and applies the methodology to the output of global modelling calculations run by the International Food and Policy...

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from agriculture (mainly methane and nitrous oxide emissions) and from Land Use, Land-Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF, mainly carbon dioxide emissions) have been traditionally addressed by different legislative initiatives, estimated through different accounting...

This document contains the Proceedings of the Expert Consultation: "Review and inter-comparison of modelling land use change effects of bioenergy", held in Paris, on 29 - 30 January 2009. This meeting was organised by the Sustainability of Bioenergy Action of the Institute for Energy (IE), Joint...
