Joint project

Land surface in Germany is used intensively. Land fulfils many societal requirements including the production of food, energy and wood, or provides area for settlement and transportation infrastructure and recreation. Global changes such as climate change and globalisation of economic systems will increase the competition for the limited land resources that exist between the various societal demands in Germany and in many other regions of world.

How to integrate aspects of preserving an intact environment, climate protection, and sustainable resource management into this complex realm of land use conflicts is the research focus of the joint project CC-LandStraD “Interdependencies between Land use and Climate Change – Strategies for a sustainable land use management in Germany”.
