A Modelling Framework for Addressing the Synergies Between Global Conventions Through Land Use Changes : Carbon Sequestration, Biodiversity Conservation, Prevention of Land Degrada...
Ponce-Hernandez, Raul - 2015
This paper proposed a methodological framework for the assessment of carbon stocks and the development and identification of land use, land use change and land management scenarios, whereby enhancing carbon sequestration synergistically increases biodiversity, the prevention of land degradation...

Impact of Climate Smart Agriculture on Food Security : An Agent-based Analysis
Bazzana, Davide; Foltz, Jeremy; Zhang, Ying - 2021
The study proposes an agent-based model to investigate how adoption of climate smart agriculture (CSA) affects food security. The analysis investigates the role of social and ecological pressures (i.e. community network, climate change and environmental externalities) on the adoption of physical...

What Drives Land-Use Change in the United States? A National Analysis of Landowner Decisions
Lubowski, Ruben N.; Plantinga, Andrew; Stavins, Robert N. - 2008
Land-use changes involve important economic and environmental effects with implications for international trade, global climate change, wildlife, and other policy issues. We use an econometric model to identify factors driving land-use change in the United States between 1982 and 1997. We...

Modeling Linkages between Climate Policy and Land Use : An Overview
van der Werf, Edwin; Peterson, Sonja M. - 2007
Agriculture and forestry play an important role in emitting and storing greenhouse gases. For an efficient and cost-effective climate policy it is therefore important to explicitly include land use, land use change, and forestry (LULUCF) in economy-climate models. This paper gives an overview...

Modelling Land Use, Land-Use Change, and Forestry in Climate Change : A Review of Major Approaches
Michetti, Melania - 2012
The rapid development of climate policies and the need to understand the dynamics of climate change have highlighted and shaped the role of land use, land-use change and forestry dynamics (LULUCF), making it an issue of global importance. As a consequence, LULUCF has become a central topic in...

Migration and Climate Change in Rural Africa
Cattaneo, Cristina - 2015
We analyse whether migration is an adaptation that households employ to cope with climate in Ghana and Nigeria. If migration is part of the present adaptation portfolio of households in developing countries, it is reasonable to expect that it will also be an adaptation to future climate change....

The Potential of REDD+ for Carbon Sequestration in Tropical Forests : Supply Curves for Carbon Storage for Kalimantan, Indonesia
Indrajaya, Yonky - 2016
We study the potential of tropical multi-age multi-species forests for sequestering carbon in response to financial incentives from REDD+. The use of reduced impact logging techniques (RIL) allows a forest owner to apply for carbon credits whereas the use of conventional logging techniques (CL)...
