Towards Sustainable Land Use
Aligning Biodiversity, Climate and Food Policies
Land use is central to many of the environmental and socio-economic issues facing
society today. This report examines on-going challenges for aligning land-use policy
with climate, biodiversity and food objectives, and the opportunities to enhance the
sustainability of land-use systems. It looks at six countries – Brazil, France, Indonesia,
Ireland, Mexico and New Zealand – with relatively large agricultural and forestry
sectors and associated greenhouse gas emissions, many of which also host globally
important biodiversity. Drawing on these countries’ relevant national strategies and
plans, institutional co-ordination and policy instruments, the report provides good
practice insights on how to better align land use decision-making processes and to
achieve stronger coherence between land use, climate, ecosystems and food objectives.
