THE VALUE OF LAND - 2015 ELD Report Launch

#ELDsolutions 

Land degradation is an increasing issue globally, exacerbated by climate change and affecting food security, threatening water resources and ultimately acting as a driver to migration.

The ELD study, undertaken over the past 4 years, quantifies the costs of land degradation and sets out a universal approach for quantifying the economic benefits of sustainable land management. It aims to enable decision makers to better understand the overall costs and benefits when implementing policies and actions dealing with land.

The Economics of Land Degradation (ELD) Initiative is a platform for discussion between stakeholders from the policy, science, and private sectors that focuses on developing globally-relevant data on the economic benefits of land and land-based ecosystems. Aiming at these target groups, the initiative has compiled specific reports: one primary main report, and a parallel report geared towards policy and decision-makers.

These will be launched and presented at international high-level events in September 2015.
