The urgency to enhance sustainable development in developing countries is at its peak. Land-use patterns and change in developing countries are considered critical to sustainable development. Therefore, it is essential to understand the linkages between land-use policy and sustainable development in the specific context of a range of developing countries, and policy options on biodiversity, climate and trade.
A one-day workshop entitled Land Use Policies and Sustainable Development in Developing Countries was held in Brussels on 5 November 2008. This event is organised was the LUPIS project (Land use policies and sustainable development in developing countries).
