Land-Use and Climate Change

LANDS
Setting the scene for decision making on future landscape and land use under a climate change regine: focal areas and opportunities for multifunctional adaptation strategies.

Our goal
The LANDS projects of the research programme Climate Change and Spatial Planning (KvR) seeks at identifying climate-change driven spatial changes in land use and land development, and integrate changes in agriculture, industry, housing and nature sectors into balanced national visions and regional solutions. The project will emphasize the cross cutting issues water resources and nature conservation: these require coordination between national level and regional level decision making, as well as between regions. For all these impacts, integrated adaptation strategies will be identified by exploring possible and feasible re-arrangements of land use in The Netherlands. This will be done at two scales: the local scale and the national scale.

Start: July 2004
Finished: 2011
