Global Land Project (GLP) nodal office application by European Land-‐use Institute (ELI) Application European Land-‐use Institute (ELI) as Global Land Project (GLP) nodal office for Europe Thematic focus of ELI The European Land-‐use Institute (ELI) is a multilateral cooperation platform that is funded since 2011 by the German Federal Ministry for Education and Research (BMBF) with the objective to build a sustainable and long lasting partnership in research, development and capacity development in inte-‐
grated land use. Regional focus of ELI is Europe, and so far, 46 partner institutions from 18 countries signed the ELI cooperation agreement. The cooperation agreement is a voluntary agreement of the ELI partners to structure our approach of a virtual pan-‐European institute and to regulate the contributions of the partners to the institute and the benefits partners receive from it. Thematic focus of our cooperation is (a) to develop together approaches how to further advance interdisciplinary research in integrated land use with a focus on a. developing approaches for improved mutual understanding between the land-‐use disci-‐
plines to evolve pathways for "integrative research"; b. improving science-‐practice cooperation and further developing ways of better address-‐
ing and integrating actors from practice; (b) to provide a platform for exchange and learning from other disciplines and for mutual support including a. connecting competence and sharing expertise of disciplines related to integrated land-‐
use in research, development and education; b. further development and transfer of promising approaches, tools and results; c. capacity development within and beyond the ELI partnership by instruments such as short term scientific missions, common projects or education and training activities. Rationale The motivation and main mission of ELI is to bring together excellent R&D partners dealing with land use, land management and landscape planning covering research in agriculture, forestry, water man-‐
agement and urban systems from ecological, economic, political and technical point of view. There-‐
fore, we decided to set up our cooperation in form of a virtual institute, where complementary the-‐
matic areas are identified which support connecting best the competences of our ELI partners within ELI and with other networks. ELI contributes currently as endorsed project to the Global Land Project (GLP) and cooperates with International Association of Landscape Ecology (IALE), International Union of Forest Research Organizations (IUFRO), Ecosystem Service Partnership (ESP) and German Alliance for Agricultural Research (DAFA). The ELI structure includes three member bodies, the Member Council, the Scientific Board and the Practical Advisory Board. The Member Council is the decision making body in ELI considering all fun-‐
damental decisions on the structure, cooperation form and further development of the institute. The Scientific Board is responsible for profiling the ELI and for deciding upon the actual and future coop-‐
eration topics of ELI. The Practical Advisory Board ensures that an exchange between science and major actors in integrated land use practice is given. The overall coordination is organized by the head-‐quarters of the ELI, which is currently affiliated to the Center for Development Research, Uni-‐
versity of Bonn. A central motivation of ELI is to create an added value for ELI members by bundling our forces and thereby being able to provide unique support and services. Services for ELI members, which we al-‐
ready established, are, for instance, an interactive partner data base which holds the partner profile and partner information and supports easy identification and selection of appropriate partners for common activities. This includes a document management system, which partners can use to share or prepare common documents. Global Land Project (GLP) nodal office application by European Land-‐use Institute (ELI) Beneficial activities for the GLP community Based on our partnership and the thematic focus we agreed on, ELI organizes the annual conference “RegioResources 21”. Each year, we identify topics of common interest, invite approved key note speakers additionally to the normal presentations and offer a thematically designed excursion so that the land-‐use community cannot only profit from exchange, but gets also input for further developing own approaches. As an outcome and benefit for the conference participants, we offer to organize a special or supplemental issue, where the first started in 2011 in the Journal of Environmental Man-‐
agement. Also conference independent special issues on topics of interest are part of the ELI activi-‐
ties, where we can make use of the ELI data base to find appropriate partners. The first conference independent special issue on integrated land use was finished in 2011 in Environmental Manage-‐
ment. We plan also to contribute to set up a Journal of Applied Land Use at Elsevier to widen the publication opportunities of the land-‐use community. Another novel format which we currently test with our partners, are stakeholder workshops in dif-‐
ferent partner countries, where again the national partner identifies topics relevant for his or her stakeholders. The workshop organization, invitation of the stakeholders and the translation is in re-‐
sponsibility of the respective partner institution, while ELI provides the platform to impart experts and their knowledge to the institution requesting the expertise. As another result of our activities, we try to make use of our meetings, workshops and conferences to further develop and sharpen our ideas on research approaches which enhance the integration and interaction of land use related disciplines and to draft hereon based improved cooperation strategies and pilot studies. All these activities could contribute to the range of actions within GLP and serve the GLP community as additional exchange and cooperation opportunity. Time frame ELI is funded by the BMBF until April, 2013, but as a pre-‐request we had to develop a business plan for maintaining the platform independent from this starting investment for the next 5 years planning period. As ELI is conceived as virtual institute and as conference fees, in-‐kind-‐partner contributions and sharing of publication fees in case of supplementary issues cover already the costs for our activi-‐
ties, we expect that our objective to establish ELI as an independent virtual institute in the long run comes true. Resources ELI was funded with an amount of 100,000.00 € for its initiation and up-‐building until April, 2013. Afterwards, the business plan foresees to cover expenses for maintaining the services (data base, organization of events, support of networking) by (a) making use of synergies provided by common national or EU projects and (b) in-‐kind contributions of the partners (time and resources). Examples for current (partially already established, partially in preparation) project synergies are WoodWisdom / Bioenergy ERA net project, an application for innovation groups in Germany to further develop the ELI office, as well as two applications for COST and ERASMUS with the same purpose. Examples for in-‐kind contributions are the organization and hosting of ELI events and meetings by our partner institutions. For the future, we foresee to include also partner fees as alternative model to the in-‐
kind contributions, but this must be decided with majority in the partner council. In parallel, also procurement of external services such as teaching, training and consultation are part of the long-‐
term development strategy of ELI. Staffing Currently, the ELI office consists of the coordinator at ZEF, three part time scientists and a technician at the partner institution TUD as well as of staff resources at the partner institutions HSWT and Pi-‐
Solution GmbH that support to maintain and further develop the ELI webpage, the data base service and the document management system. This sharing of tasks and contribution of different partners to the work of the ELI office is part of our virtual institute approach. However, it is planned to estab-‐
lish either within the COST / ERASMUS or innovation group activity also a physical office. SSC Meeting 2012

A pressing challenge
Humanity is facing unprecedented global risks. We are observing more rapid and complex
global interactions between social and environmental components of the Earth system and clear
indications of significant shifts in climate, biodiversity, pollution loads and other critical factors. The
evidence suggests that the Earth and its inhabitants have entered a new geological era - the
Anthropocene - where the scale of human influence on the Earth system constitutes the dominant
driving force of change at the planetary scale. The human impact on our planet may be so great
that irreversible and abrupt changes to the Earth system could occur with serious impacts on
economic development and human wellbeing (Crutzen 2002; Rockström et al., 2009; Steffen et al.,
2007). Yet scientific research only partly understands these risks, how they will affect different
regions, and how we might best respond to them. In an increasingly interconnected world, where
people, goods and ideas move across vast distances, it is no longer possible to address problems
such as poverty or access to water at community or national scales without considering the
implications of global environmental change for economic, social and environmental sustainability.
Governments, firms and citizens are increasingly recognizing that, even though global
environmental change poses risks to prosperity and security, it also provides opportunities for
innovation and secure livelihoods. Decisions are being made to respond to global environmental
change from the household to the international level and researchers need to engage with policy
makers and citizens if they wish their work to be of use in informing and evaluating these
decisions.
Achieving a sustainable global society requires us not only to understand the processes
that determine how the Earth system functions, and how drivers of lifestyles and models of
progress function, but also how to manage and govern our activities to reach and maintain global
sustainability. We need to achieve a global transition that goes beyond gradual incremental
change, and which addresses major equity challenges in a world that hosts 7 billion of people - 4
billion of them living in poverty. With many people aspiring to live longer and increase their
consumption, with the likelihood of an additional 2 billion people by 2050, and with some
unavoidable global environmental changes already underway, societies face major challenges for
adaptation and transformation.
Humanity does not have adequate answers as to how to safeguard prosperity and
development in this new world of the Anthropocene. The most up to date Earth system research
indicates that global sustainability is a prerequisite for human wellbeing in this new era. A new kind
of research, co-produced with society and seamlessly integrating social and natural sciences, is
now needed to support a transition to global sustainability, cutting across sectors and addressing
key human development objectives, such as global food and water security, risk reduction, energy
equity and security, poverty alleviation, and health. At the same time we still face major knowledge
gaps about the global risks facing humanity and how the Earth system operates. A new research
agenda is needed, that deepens our knowledge while integrating understanding and seeking
transformative solutions. This agenda must focus on a comprehensive range of solutions and
choices including science, technology, institutional, economic, and behavioural change for
sustainable development and must be attentive to the needs of those who will use the research to
make choices about responses to global environmental change. This new integrated research
effort will need to be supported by new ways of conceptualizing human-environment interactions
and by increased efforts in global observation systems – to monitor and understand biophysical
and social changes occurring in the world – and research on Earth system dynamics, human
dimensions of global change, and world development.
A new global endeavour to focus Earth system research on global sustainability is needed
that integrates our understanding of the global risks facing humanity and that explores new
opportunities for partnerships with the users of research, transformative change, innovation,
2
economic development and enhanced human security. The international research community has
a universal responsibility to step up to this challenge. The “Future Earth” initiative, focused on
research for global sustainability seeks to meet this challenge through new alliances of
researchers, scientific organizations and research users who will join to co-design an integrated
research agenda, foster new research programmes, coordinate research funding, and deliver
knowledge for solutions to the global community.
Background to Future Earth
There is a long tradition of international global environmental change research generated
by individual researchers, national scientific agendas and international global change research
programmes such as those co-sponsored by the International Council for Science (ICSU), the
International Social Science Council (ISSC), and UN agencies. These programmes have provided
considerable evidence as to how and why the global environment is changing, the successes and
failures in responding to these changes, and why a major transformation in research for global
sustainability is urgently required.
Recent evaluations of the global environmental change research programmes of ICSU and
its partners, while acknowledging the major scientific achievements so far, concluded that the
challenges ahead require a major new and integrative initiative on Earth system research for
global sustainability. Together with ISSC, ICSU
undertook the Earth System Visioning, a broad
consultative process which identified five priorities:
(1) Forecasting: improve the usefulness of forecasts
of future environmental conditions and their
consequences for people
(2) Observing: develop, enhance and integrate the
observation systems needed to manage global and
regional environmental change
(3) Confining: determine how to anticipate, avoid and
manage disruptive global environmental change
(4) Responding: determine what institutional,
economic and behavioural changes can enable
effective steps toward global sustainability and
(5) Innovating: encourage innovation (coupled with
sound mechanisms for evaluation) in developing
technological, policy, and social responses to achieve
global sustainability (Figure 1) (Reid et al. (2010);
Figure 1: ICSU-ISSC Visioning Grand
ICSU report on the Grand Challenges, 2010).
Challenges
At the same time, a coalition of major research funding agencies from around the world –
the Belmont Forum – identified a challenge for the international scientific community to develop
and deliver knowledge in support of national and international government action to mitigate and
adapt to global and regional environmental change. The Belmont Challenge is for research to
deliver knowledge needed for action to avoid and adapt to detrimental environmental change
including extreme hazardous events. Belmont identified several critical activities including (1)
assessments of risks, impacts and vulnerabilities, through regional and decadal-scale analysis and
prediction (2) information on the state of the environment, through advanced observation systems
(3) interaction of natural and social sciences (4) enhanced environmental information service
providers to users and (5) effective international coordination mechanisms, with initial foci on
3
coastal vulnerability, freshwater security, ecosystem services, carbon budgets and the most
vulnerable societies. They identified engagement with stakeholders as a high priority.
The convergence of thinking between the research community and the funders provides a
promising basis for the new initiative in concluding that a new global integrated initiative is needed
to answer the grand challenges of the quest for global sustainability now facing humanity. Both the
ICSU-ISSC Visioning and the Belmont process recognize that major new investments are needed
in synthesis of research, bridging across the sciences (natural and social), and linking science,
policy and practice. They also see great needs for capacity development – particularly in the
developing world - and in engaging stakeholders and communicating new insights to society. The
2-year Visioning process and the Belmont Forum process have generated a road map for a major
transformation and expansion in research effort, motivated by the urgency to answer – for
humanity and for those making decisions – critical questions for world development in the
Anthropocene. The road map calls for a transformation in coordination and leadership in order to
provide a globally coordinated ability for research to respond to societal needs, become more
policy-relevant, and to raise – significantly – the ability to bridge research to policy and practice.
Box 1: The ‘Future Earth’ Alliance
Future Earth brings together an alliance of partners with long term interests and
expertise in international research collaboration on environment, science and sustainability.
The International Council for Science (ICSU) includes as members disciplinary unions as
well as national members, and has focused on global environmental change through
programmes such as World Climate Research Programme (WCRP), International
Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (IGBP), International Human Dimensions Programme
(IHDP), and DIVERSITAS, as well as focused efforts on climate, ocean and terrestrial
observing systems, disaster risk reduction, ecosystems and oceans. The global
environmental programmes also jointly created the Earth System Science Partnership
(ESSP), and a range of joint and specific projects.
The alliance of natural and social sciences is also represented by the involvement
of the International Social Science Council (ISSC), the primary international body
representing the social, economic and behavioural sciences, including disciplines and
professions such as law, economics, demography, sociology, geography, psychology,
political science and anthropology.
The Alliance is further strengthened by the participation of the United Nations
Environment Programme (UNEP), the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural
Organization (UNESCO), and the United Nations University (UNU), who bring research
and monitoring programmes in climate, ecosystems, hazardous waste, governance, local
knowledge, water, ecology and oceans. The World Meteorological Organization (WMO),
with its resources and expertise in climate, Earth observations and weather, currently has
observer status in the Alliance,
Very importantly, the Alliance includes funders in the form of the Belmont Forum,
council of principals for the International Group of Funding Agencies for Global Change
Research (IGFA), who work to enhance cooperation and coordination of funding for global
environmental change research.
The Alliance is set to become a ground-breaking strategic partnership of the
international research community, funders, operational service providers, and users of
global environmental change science. It provides exciting opportunities to create and
support a coordinated and cutting edge agenda for research, co-designed by scientists,
funders and users of environmental knowledge. It aims at establishing a joint strategy to
work together on common priorities that create and use the knowledge that societies need
to adapt and mitigate to hazardous global environmental change. The Alliance will lever
the capability generated over recent decades, embracing
truly transdisciplinary goals that
4
cannot be achieved by a single country, existing organisational structures or a single field.
An Alliance was formed to co-design a new 10-year initiative - recognising the need for a
deeper integration between disciplines and bodies of knowledge (natural, social, economic, health,
engineering, and humanities) as well as for a major improvement in the ability for science to
provide outcomes that respond to needs in society (Box 1).
The Alliance consists of researchers, funders of global change research, and services
providers, including ICSU, ISSC, the Belmont Forum, the United Nations Educational, Scientific
and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), and
the United Nations University (UNU). A Transition Team was established by the Alliance in 2011 to
lead the planning of the new initiative, that will be presented at the Planet Under Pressure
conference in March 2012, launched at the Science, Technology and Innovation Forum
associated with the Rio+20 Earth Summit in June 2012, and operational in 2013. In December
2011, the Transition Team and the Alliance adopted “Future Earth – Research for Sustainability”
as the name for the new initiative, with the short form - “Future Earth” - to be used.
Goal and objectives of Future Earth
In a world where research has provided evidence of the urgent need for a rapid transition to
global sustainability, and can contribute options for a successful transition, Future Earth has the
overarching strategic goal to develop the knowledge for responding effectively to the risks and
opportunities of global environmental change and for supporting transformation towards global
sustainability. The intent is to deliver at global and regional scales the knowledge that societies
require to effectively address global change while meeting economic and social goals.
The means by which Future Earth will contribute to this overarching goal is through a major global
10 year initiative of international scientific collaboration on Earth system research, with the specific
objectives to:
• coordinate and focus international research to engage with stakeholders to address the
grand challenges arising from the ICSU-ISSC Visioning and Belmont Forum processes in
order to use human and financial resources efficiently;
• build on and continue successful international collaborative projects that are addressing
critical global environmental change problems which require broad international
collaboration on Earth system research;
• engage a new generation of diverse researchers from all regions in the social, economic,
natural, health, humanities, and engineering sciences, and foster their engagement with
stakeholders so as to ensure the future use and success of research efforts;
• strategically engage a variety of stakeholders in the pursuit of solutions to growing
problems of global environmental change and sustainable development;
• foster a major transformation not only in scientific endeavour, but also in bridging sciencepolicy-practice, research in support of development and human possibilities, service
provisioning, communications, and capacity development;
• provide a strengthened global platform and regional nodes for initiatives on science and
research in support of global sustainability and an enhanced ability for collaborative efforts
in synthesis, assessments and observations.
Institutional design elements
The strategy for Future Earth, informed by the ICSU-ISSC Visioning and Belmont
challenges, assumes that the initiative will be governed by one overarching structure advised by a
5
full range of scientists and stakeholders, and guided by a comprehensive conceptual research
framework and set of research questions that generate scientific enthusiasm and societal
engagement. Future Earth will:
•
•
•
•
•
•
develop a strengthened global coordination through a unified institutional framework at the
top, in order to provide the best possible support for multiple initiatives and self-organised
scientific endeavours among researchers across the world. The research within Future
Earth will include disciplinary, inter-disciplinary, and transdisciplinary efforts in the area of
Earth systems research. It will build on a combined strategy that (1) supports ongoing and
new disciplinary research, and (2) initiates and supports mega-themes of integrated global
change research.
provide a new architecture for the international coordination of Earth system research
under ICSU and its partners, which will include all current global environmental change
research programmes and bodies 1 (WCRP, IGBP, IHDP, DIVERSITAS and the joint ESSP)
and will be open to other ICSU initiatives such as Integrated Research on Disaster Risk
(IRDR) and Ecosystem Change & Society (PECS). This is likely to include the integration of
several of the existing global environmental change programmes.
build on the ongoing research projects coordinated under the existing ICSU (co-)
sponsored global environmental change programmes, and provide a wider global platform
for strategic research collaboration and engagement with users of research that attracts
scientists from around the world, and which supports initiatives from research groups and
institutions. Future Earth will establish close partnerships with other initiatives by cosponsors and partners (such as the UNEP ProVia 2 initiative) in order to assure
complementarities and synergies.
pay particular attention to engaging the users of research early in the development of
research programmes, for example by including stakeholders in advisory committees, and
also seek to ramp up the research community’s understanding and practices of working
with business, governments, non profit organizations and communities to identify research
priorities and seek solutions to global environmental challenges. This responsiveness is
increasingly demanded of and by the funders of research including taxpayers, foundations,
and the private sector.
provide leadership by embedding sustainability strategically not only into the new
organisation’s vision and mission, but also in all phases of the planning, operations, project
development, funding, meetings, research and other activities. By having best practices in
sustainability embedded in all phases, Future Earth can also more credibly help develop
new paradigms, standards and policy.
require a transformational increase in funding, both flexible institutional funding and
competitive research funding, to provide the ability to take strategic global research
initiatives, generate policy relevant syntheses and assessments, and to support
communication, and capacity building, in order to achieve success and fulfil its promise.

Four major global environmental change programmes, all (co)sponsored by ICSU, operate in the planning and
coordination of international global environmental change research: DIVERSITAS: An International Programme on
Biodiversity Science; International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (IGBP); International Human Dimensions
Programme on Global Environmental Change (IHDP); World Climate Research Programme (WCRP). In 2001, they
created the Earth System Science Partnership (ESSP) to develop common activities.

Transition Team activities
The Transition Team, formed in June 2011, includes members from around the world of the
scientific community, major research organizations and funders, and the private sector, with
experience in academia, government, international agencies and non-governmental organizations
and with a wide variety of disciplinary backgrounds. Many members have close familiarity with
existing global environmental change programmes but each member of the team is asked to
contribute as an independent expert rather than the representative of any particular programme or
project. The team is supported by observers that include representatives from the existing ICSU
global environmental change programmes. The Transition Team has organized his members in
three working groups: (1) Research strategy; (2) Institutional design; and (3) Education /
Communication / Interaction with stakeholders. The team is staffed by a joint ICSU-Belmont
secretariat and has an Executive Group responsible for the overall process that includes the cochairs of the Transition Team, members of the Alliance, and one or two representatives of each
working group. The Executive Group meets in monthly teleconferences and the Transition Team
has scheduled in person meetings in June and Dec 2011, March 2012 and November 2012.
Box 2: Transition Team - Terms of Reference
The Transition Team Terms of Reference set out the following tasks over an 18 month
lifetime:
1. Develop a research strategy for the initiative drawing on the outputs of the ICSU Visioning
process, the Belmont forum White Paper and the strategies of the other main partners in the
Alliance to set out the critical research challenges, the required thematic priorities and
capabilities, desired outcomes, impacts and success measures, and how progress will be
evaluated.
2. Identify gaps in the partnership, and then reach out to potential partners to encourage
them to join the initiative and secure the necessary high-level commitment from governments,
business and civil society.
3. Find ways to build on existing capability and investments including the greater and more
effective integration of GEC programmes.
4. Identify mechanisms for funding and models for delivery focussing on open, flexible
approaches, including processes and mechanisms that would allow the scientific community
to move forward faster and deliver more effective research, network design and development
including possible regional ‘nodes’ for the network, and examining options for knowledge
management systems, that would enable cost-effective interaction and information exchange
across the network and beyond to broad research user and provider stakeholder groups.
5. Facilitate the design of a research and implementation plan for the first three years of the
Initiative, setting out the early phase priority areas and a specific action plan with a small
number of priority areas/directions as an initial step as well as a communication strategy.
6. Make recommendations for the governance of the initiative.
7
Criteria guiding the Transition Team process
The work of the Transition Team is guided by criteria outlined in the terms of reference (Box 2),
which have been refined in discussions among the team and the Alliance partners. These include:
• a focus on research that requires international collaboration to be successful
• a unified research framework as a goal
• continuation of the successful and respected existing international collaborative global change
projects with the intention of including them within the umbrella of the new initiative with access
to new financial resources, institutional support and links to policy
• research that can provide early warnings of global environmental risks, identify strategies to
respond to them and can help define new opportunities for growth and livelihoods
• research that seeks to provide solutions and transition pathways, ranging from economics to
behavioural change and governance
• creation of partnerships between research, organizations, policy and practice to deliver
knowledge that is useful to decision makers, responds to development priorities, and can be
easily explained to citizens
• research that is co-designed by the partners represented in the Alliance, bringing together
natural, social, human and applied/professional/engineering sciences for consultation and input
• an open and flexible process, to allow partners to contribute as widely as possible, providing a
coordination platform of research and funding at the international level, without challenging
individual partners’ decision-making autonomy, and managing conflicts of interest.
• attention to strong regional nodes, geographic and gender balance, capacity building and
collaboration.
Conceptual framework for an integrated platform
One of the key tasks of the Transition Team is to develop the conceptual framework for an
integrated platform that links major research traditions with critical policy and human development
concerns and can be used to identify priority research questions for Future Earth.
At the December 2011 meeting of the Transition Team, a conceptual framework was
developed, in part, from the ICSU Visioning and Belmont Challenge, but also from key projects
within ICSU and other Alliance partners and from major human development goals and concerns.
Within the framework, three nested models were developed (Figure 2), centered on global
environmental change and the social, political, economical transformations needed to realize a
sustainable future. The first provides a simple conceptual model of global environmental change,
its drivers, the responses to it, and its impacts on human wellbeing (Figure 3). The second
provides a map of the core intellectual concerns of the global environmental change research
community (Figure 4). The third encompasses the most critical human development concerns –
the issues that people and society care about that are affected by global environmental change
and where decisions might be informed by responsive research (Figure 5).
8
Figure 2: Nested conceptual framework
Figure 3: GEC and transformation
The simple conceptual model of the process of global environmental change begins with a
set of drivers of change including both natural forcing factors such as the sun and volcanic
eruptions and socioeconomic forcings such as changes in economics, demographics, technology,
culture and politics. These underlying forces are manifest in more direct activities such as changes
in land use, resource management, and energy use that drive changes in the Earth system. The
global environmental issues of concern include interconnected changes in climate, water,
biodiversity, air quality, oceans, and soil quality. These in turn have impacts on human well-being
through access to basic needs for food, water and energy as well as integrated conditions of
livelihoods, health, values, wealth, security, and empowerment. As humans respond to the risks
and opportunities to human well being posed by global environmental change they make decisions
that alter the driving forces of the
Earth and human-environment
system.
The Transition Team’s
intellectual mapping of global
environmental change research
(Figure 4) is intended to
encompass the main activities of
many existing programmes and
to include a broad and integrated
range of social science and
engineering research themes.
The question mark indicates that
we do not intend this to be a
definitive map at this stage in the
transition to the Future Earth
research agenda.

GLP Position Document on Future Earth

GLP position on the Future Earth and transitioning process
Giovana Espindola1 and Peter Verburg2 on behalf of the Global Land Project Scientific Steering
Committee (GLP SSC)

GLP International Project Office Executive Officer, [email protected]
GLP Scientific Steering Committee Chair, [email protected]

The Global Land Project (GLP) is a joint core project of the International GeosphereBiosphere Programme (IGBP) and the International Human Dimensions Programme on
Global Environmental Change (IHDP) to improve the understanding of land system change
in the context of Earth system functioning. GLP, being one of the core projects of both the
IGBP and IHDP, has emerged as a follow-up of the LUCC and GCTE projects.
GLP goal is to measure, model and understand the coupled socio-environmental
terrestrial system, and the project coordinates science on land system change under three
thematic areas: (i) the dynamics of land system change; (ii) the consequences of land
system change; and (iii) integrating analysis and modelling for land sustainability.
GLP started its activities in 2006 with a former International Project Office (IPO) hosted by
the University of Copenhagen until 2011. Since January 2012, a new IPO is placed in
Brazil, being hosted by the Brazilian National Institute for Space Research (INPE). INPE
has agreed to host the current GLP IPO until at least December 2015. Currently, GLP
activities are also supported by two regional nodal offices in Japan and China.
GLP has organized many activities with the 2010 Open Science Meeting (OSM) in Arizona
as the major highlight. During this event, it became clear the GLP science community has
been matured and, although coming from different disciplinary backgrounds, has been able
to successfully establish the observation, analysis and forecasting of land system change as
an interdisciplinary science. In that sense, land system science has become a particular
example of truly interdisciplinary collaboration between the social and physical sciences,
with an increasingly more smooth communication across the disciplines and a focus on the
interface of social and ecological systems.
Since its last annual meeting in May 2011, the Scientific Steering Committee and the
International Project Office of the Global Land Project have closely followed the
developments of the Future Earth framework. Overall, we are very much pleased with the
ongoing developments towards a more integrative structure that brings forward many of the
achievements of the land science community with:
•
•
•
a strong focus on the further integration of human and natural science aspects of
global environmental change (GEC) with the main challenges in reconciling the
different perspectives;
a central focus on the ‘grand challenges’ driven from ICSU global consultation on
emerging environmental issues. The GLP community has always been addressing
the multiple challenges of GEC as by bringing different communities and
perspectives under the same umbrella1;
a high level of interaction across GEC themes: GLP is actively interacting with
other current core projects, including UGEC (urbanization), ESG (earth system
governance) and iLEAPS (land-atmosphere interactions).
Looking at the development of global environmental change in recent years, we believe the
Global Land Project has become more relevant as a key component of Earth system
research. Land system change is both a cause and effect of the interactions of humans with
their environment. The way in which we modify and manage the land has major impacts on
climate, water availability and quality, and biodiversity. At the same time, land system
change and the management of the land resources offer the opportunity to adapt to
environmental changes. Land science, therefore, provides an important platform for
integrating global change research and policy. This requires reconciling our understanding
of the human dimensions of environmental change including governance, economy and
behavior with its physical and ecological dimensions. Linking human dimensions research
to physical and ecological dimensions has always been one of the grand challenges of Earth
system research. It is especially land science that has the tradition of integrating the
different disciplinary insights into a consistent analysis of the land system as a whole. Land
systems are at the interface of human, ecologic and physical dimensions of global change
and therefore are of prime importance to many of the other core projects of IGBP and
IHDP. A strong collaboration and the organization of joint activities with the other core
projects is therefore one of the GLP priorities for the coming period.
The following points reflect the main GLP perspectives for consideration by the Transition
Team in response to the information that was provided:
1. Goal and objectives of Future Earth
As mentioned above, GLP is deeply involved with the ICSU Grand Challenges and
has been addressed critical land system change problems at the local and regional
scale, and to and from the global scale. GLP research approach provides a
framework to study the vulnerability and sustainability of the coupled system in
1
The following groups of the GLP community strongly contribute to the five priorities identified by the Future
Earth Transition Team. (A) Observing: the land change observation community, especially remote sensing
community. (B) Forecasting: the land use modelling community. (C) Innovating: the recent work on land
architecture to ‘design’ land systems that best use synergies between ecosystem services. (D) Responding:
much climate adaptation takes place through modified land use. (D) Confining: the work on large transition
in land use such as the forest transition.
different regions of the world. Delivery systems (website, reports and workshops)
that accelerate transfer of knowledge to all levels of society are the basis of the GLP
research strategy, and efforts made to improve communication among researchers
and between researches and stakeholders. GLP is in the unique opportunity to
engage with research communities that have, historically, a strong connection to
practice, such as land use planning. Also, the GLP community has a lot of members
that have a long expertise of engaging stakeholders in their research throughout the
whole process. Land is often owned by stakeholders, which has made the need to
involve stakeholders throughout the research process a pre-requisite. However, at
the same time, we are happy with the strong focus on further stakeholder
engagement in the Future Earth initiative. Also for GLP, there are many remaining
challenges in this field of which we are convinced that further emphasis is needed.
2. Institutional design elements
GLP has a strong interest in the Future Earth initiative, and already works on many
of the challenges addressed by the framework document. GLP looks forward to
continually engage with the initiative and aims at a constructive dialogue and
cooperation. The strategy for Future Earth should make sure that the emerging
initiative is aware and make use of existing results, networks and ongoing research
driven by GLP and other ICSU core projects. Future Earth should avoid damage to
existing networks and research cooperation that took years of personal contacts and
efforts to build. Those networks are built on trust and long-term cooperation. It
should be noted that the core projects normally hardly receive any funding but are
fully based on the enthusiasm and dedication of the research communities. Given
their enormous importance to engage the whole community (including young
scientists) it is important to appreciate this community engagement as the core of
the existence and success of these initiatives. We are very happy that the documents
clearly acknowledge this and do want to build on the current core projects.
However, more clarification and discussion on the integration of existing projects is
needed. Will the new architecture for the international coordination of Earth system
research integrate existing projects across activities or the architecture will decide if
individual projects nested within research programs should be continued or
discontinued?
3. Transition Team activities
The Transition Team should enable constructive input by core-projects (such as
GLP) in the process of facilitating the design of a research and implementation plan
on global change research. Core projects such as GLP have years of professional
experience in dealing with initiating, organizing and summarizing global change
research. They have also first-hand experience in dealing with the challenges and
shortcomings (as well as the advantages) of the current system, as identified in the
visioning process, and they may therefore contribute with experience, lessonslearned and new ideas.
Finally, a list of current GLP SSC members is enclosed.

The work of Roberto Araujo focus mainly on the relations between institutions, systems of social practices and
forms of land use. Since 1986 he has been conducting extensive fieldwork on the dynamics of frontier expansion in
the Brazilian Amazon and surrounding regions. He was the head of the Department of Humanities in the Goeldi
Museum (MCT) from 1997 to 2002. He was the co-PI of international research programs, as the project
"Contemporary dynamics of identity and Development in the Brazilian Amazon" MPEG (CNPq)-ORSTOM – from
1997 to 1999, an effort to understand how and at what extent social dependence generated institutional vulnerability
in the region. This project was born from the work started in July 1994 during the 48th International Congress of
Americanists (Stockholm), where Roberto Araujo had organized, together with Philippe Lena (IRD-France), the
symposium "State, Crisis of the Paternalistic Mode of Exploitation and Modernity ", which also resulted in a special
issue of Lusotopie (L'oppression Paternaliste au Brésil, Paris: Karthala, 1996 available in
http://www.lusotopie.sciencespobordeaux.fr/somma96.html, edited with P. Léna and C. Geffray (IRD-France).
To study less known aspects of institutional vulnerability, particularly the impact of illicit activities on the local
political regimes and territorial control, Araujo integrated the team of the International Project on Social and
Economic Impacts of Drug Trafficking in Brazil, China, Mexico and India (MOST/UNESCO- UNODC /UN 19982002), coordinated by Michel SChiray (CNRS-France). From 2000 to 2003 Araujo was also P.I of the project
"Sustainable Development Alternatives and Trends in Socio-Spatial Mobility in the Amazon", granted by PPG-7.
The aim of this project was to study the characteristics, progress and limits of the new institutional context
generated by the implementation of a "socio-environmental model”, in different situations and from the point of
view of different actors in the Amazon.
The main conclusions of this work were published in the book Sustainable Development and Societies in the
Amazon, CNPQ-MPEG/MCT 2010, edited with P. Léna (IRD). Araujo made simultaneously several studies to
support public policies of land management, like the coordination of a "Socio-economic diagnosis and studies of the
legal-institutional background" to the Ecological and Economic Zoning plan promoted by SUDAM
(Superintendência do Desenvolvimento da Amazônia), published in 2008 by EMBRAPA; or research on land
grabbing of public tenures, for the Ministry of Environment (MMA), which led to the book "Land grabbing in the
Brazilian Amazon," written with J. H. Benatti and S. Penna (UFPa) MMA, Brasilia, 2006. Several reports and
analysis produced in this period (2003-2008) were sent to the federal government (Ministry of Environment, of
Agrarian Development), which contributed to the effort of reducing the rates of deforestation in Amazonia. Araújo
was also guest speaker or chair in panels and meetings with stakeholders, social movements and local NGOs from
eastern Amazonia (Altamira and BR-163 regions) to discuss local problems and solutions from the point of view of
a sustainable society.
These works were developed jointly with the research carried out by GEOMA Network (Thematic Network for
Research in Environmental Modeling of Amazon - MCT), where Araujo and Monteiro (INPE) were co-PIs (from
2002 to 2009) of the research activities on social actors of land use and land cover change. GEOMA Research
Network, together with the results of the project Violence, Public Space and Social Dependence (granted by FINEP
- 2007-2010. PI: R. Araujo) enhanced the proposal of a research project currently carried out by INPE and granted
by FAPESP: “Land Use Change in Amazonia: Institutional Analysis and Modelling at multiple temporal and spatial
scales (P.I: G. Câmara. Social Sciences Co-Pis: R. Araújo; A. Aguiar). The aim of this current work is to understand
the close association between the evolution of cross-level Institutional Arrangements, and the trajectories of land
systems in Amazonia, exploring participatory methodologies, and innovative methodologies in remote sensing,
landscape analysis and dynamic modeling fields. This research is complementary to projects like GEOMA phase III
(AGER-NOMOS/MCT. 2010-2013. PI: R. Araujo), which aims to produce case studies to show how the
45
SSC Meeting 2012
organizational characteristics of groups acting simultaneously at different scales influences the current results of
implementing environmental laws (and their acceptance), affecting land tenure (mainly inside but also outside
protected areas) and land use dynamics as well.
In conclusion, Roberto Araujo’s past experience in research on institutional analysis and public policy, as well as his
current and outreach work can represent a significant contribution to GLP objectives.

I received my Ph.D. in August 2009. My research directly tackled a core issue of poverty production and
reproduction. It analysed the dynamics of vulnerability in Bogotá through a study conducted on a 900 low-income
households’ sample. It built on Moser’s key findings and her Assets Vulnerability Framework, concentrating on
causal relations between critical life events faced by households, the causes that directly determine them, the
consequences or short-term impacts these events implied and, finally, the strategies they adopted in order to face,
cope with, as well as react to them.
Over the past five years I began exploring the relationship between social vulnerability and the interactions and
responses of urban systems and populations in the face of the indirect social impacts of global environmental
change (GEC). People’s adaptation depends on their material and cultural resilience in the face of structurally
adverse conditions, economic crisis or extreme environmental events such as those that increasingly produce
disasters within unsustainable socio-ecological dynamics.
Risk and vulnerability are two different concepts that underpin different dynamics. Although complementary in
terms of desired policy outcomes, risk and vulnerability respond to two different logics. While risk defines the
probability of occurrence of an event, vulnerability is related to the internal characteristics of a system that
determine its exposure to potential harm. In the area of urban risk management a great confusion persists about
this critical difference, both conceptually and at policy level. The consequences are not to be light-heartedly
overlooked. Besides important institutional and financial determinants urban policies aimed at fostering
adaptation to global environmental change require a sharp understanding of what vulnerability is, how it works
and how it can be managed and reduced.
Thus, the overall goal in my research agenda is to contribute to mainstreaming a renewed and keenly
interdisciplinary vulnerability approach, where the integrated analysis of bio-physical, social, institutional and
cultural sensitivity to stress, critical events and change play a pivotal role.

SSC Meeting 2012
In 2011 I was entrusted the drafting of the conceptual framework for the National Plan of Adaptation to Climate
Change by the National Government of Colombia, specifically, by the National Planning Department. In terms
of the experience with national policies related to the topics dealt with by the GLP I should point out two
elements. First, I had an in-depth first-hand full immersion in the task of how to incorporate previous academic
and policy-related learning within a real policy framework marked by constraints determined by vested interestes
in the areas of deforestation, agriculture and land-use management. Besides, I did so in such a complex national
policy environment as it is the Colombian one, still strongly influenced by neo-liberal principles and geared
towards overall goals represented by economic growth; indeed an absolute national goal for many in the country.
Second, I measured my ability viz. the challenge of how to deal with a multi-stakeholders policy makingprocess. Each single institutional actor has its own ideological and conceptual priorities, as well as political
agenda and policy goals. All adaptation is ultimately local and will be ultimately put into action by local actors
and stakeholders. Urban adaptation to climate change and, more broadly, to global environmental change is a
territorial issue that has to do with the way the territory is socially, culturally and economically constructed.
Within cities, this bears a close relationship with the way the main ecological structure of the city has been
historically determined, how land has been occupied and managed (sometimes planned or ordered) and how the
different logics and rationalities of risk management have met each other (for instance communities vs.
institutions). At the national level I framed these very issues within a broader perspective embracing natural
ecosystems, stating their centrality for adaptation to climate change as well as their two-way relationship with the
territory.
In April 2011 I joined a team co-ordinated by Professor Romero-Lankao from the National Centre for
Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Boulder (CO) to carry out as a co-principal investigator the Bogotá-based
case study for the ‘Adaptation to the health impacts of air pollution and climate extremes in Latin American
Cities’ project (ADAPTE). The project compares Buenos Aires, Bogotá, Mexico City and Santiago de Chile.
Through this experience I had the opportunity to build on my previous research on social vulnerability and urban
adaptation to climate change. More specifically, thanks to a fieldwork that covered three environmental hazardprone areas of Bogotá, I gathered a number of insights that are relevant for a position in the SSC of the GLP. I
will single out just a few of them here due to space constraints:
a) The impact of climate variability on low- and middle-income urban populations is part of a wider range of
stresses that nonetheless impinge on their capacity to cope in the face of little variation in their assets levels
as well as in their opportunities as individuals, families and communities. This deep understating of lowincome poor real-life dynamics is key asset I would take to the GLP.
b) In spite of progress in areas such as risk management, land-use planning and social development, local
institutions are unable to pool their resources in order to co-ordinate policies and actions to deal with the
challenges of climate change, environmental degradation and urban transformation. The issues of interinstitutional co-ordination and action under conditions of uncertainty (vs. risk) are themes on which what I
have learnt might serve as a contribution in other contexts.
c) There still is a clash of rationalities regarding the way risk and vulnerabilities are conceived and lived by
low-income groups and local planners or functionaries. This is another broader issue that has a broader
relevance than the Bogotá/Latin-American context.
During 2009 and 2010 I was commissioned by UN-Habitat (Nairobi) the drafting of the country-report on ‘The
Impact of Climate Change on Urban Settlements in Colombia’, which I carried out in co-authorship with Ph.D.
LSE candidate Arabella Fraser. Before anything this was an occasion for an in-depth research work on
international and local literature on climate change scenarios and trends, as well as for an up-date on urban and
developmental issues and debates. The report is structured into four chapters:
1) Climate Change: Current and Future Trends in Colombia.
2) Policies and Institutions for Adaptation in Urban Colombia.
3) The Impacts of Climate Change in Colombia: Context and Critical Issues.
4) Low-income Groups’Adaptation to Climate Change in Colombia.

SSC Meeting 2012
This is a piece of work that demonstrates my ability to successfully build an academic and consultancy
relationship with one of the key institutions within the developmental arena.
Since the beginning of 2009 I embarked on a comparative research work on the capacity to adapt to climate
change in urban areas with colleagues from the Urbanization and Global Environmental Change project. This is
now been published by the International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, within a special issue wheras
my article is titled ”Cities and Climate Change Challenges: Institutions, Policy Style and Adaptation Capacity in
Bogotá (Colombia) This work, co-ordinated by Professor Dirk Heinrichs and Dr. Michail Fragkias lead to our
presence in the 5th Urban Forum organized by the World Bank in Marseille in that same year and, later, to the
inclusion oft our collective chapter in the World Bank book ‘Cities and Climate Change Challenges: An Urgent
Agenda’. Besides, a more in-dept work with a number of individual papers has been accepted for a special issue
of the International Journal of Urban and Regional Research. In my individual paper I have sought to interrogate
the question of “what makes a city adapt while others do not” and have sought to bring into the debate some key
inter-disciplinary insights. In particular, the idea of “policy style” put forward by Professor Bovens and colleague
in a book published in 2001 on “Success and Failure in Public Policy” offers very interesting elements regarding
the relationships between the capacity to adapt on the one hand and, on the other, the way problems such as
reform, innovation and crises are dealt with; for instance anticipation vs. reaction and consensus vs. imposition.
A deeper understanding of institutional dynamics is paramount to complement already existing knowledge on
urban poverty, land-use and planning processes, public service provision, equality and participation.

Please write up to one page. GLP depends on active SSC members who are willing to initiate and drive
activities and initiatives within GLP.
During the past five years I have been involved in a project aiming to assess changes in Land cover and land
use in Latin America and the Caribbean, based on MODIS images (project E.4; publication D 8). Currently, this
project is at the stage of finishing continental-scale land cover maps for the 2000-2010 decade with annual
resolution; and I would like to promote a series of GLP activities partially based on the use of this data set.
This would include.
1) Organization of one or more data analyses/synthesis activities (e.g. summer institutes) to relate the short term
(i.e. one decade) continental scale MODIS-based data with local data sets of with time dept and/or spatial
resolution (e.g. multidecadal Landsat-based analyses; vegetation plot analyses; time series of socioeconomic
data). We are already in the process to combine these two approaches and scales (e.g. papers E7, E8, E10) for
subtropical Argentina, and this has proved a fertile way to combine updated description of current land cover
change with explanation and assessments of processes and driving forces for deforestation and forest transition.
Such a data-intense analysis activity would also benefit from the data on human demography that will be
published in the coming years in most countries as a result of the 2010-11 national censuses. The participation
of local experts, advanced students and posdocs, and leading scientists in the key biophysical and social aspects
of land use change should promote major improvements on the understanding of land use change in Latin
America, as well as the development of an active community of scientists working with a common language
and data sources.
2) Expansion of the VIEW-IT – MODIS monitoring system to global scale. To the present, our project
developed a system for Latin American and the Caribbean region based on the combination of MODIS imagery
and intensive “groundtruthing” based on Google Earth® which has allowed the observation of c. 50,000 points
for which high resolution Quickbird or SPOT images were available and were used for training the different
classifiers of the MODIS imagery (Clark, M.L. and Aide, T.M. (2011). Virtual Interpretation of Earth WebInterface Tool (VIEW-IT) for Collecting Land-Use/Land-Cover Reference Data. Remote Sensing, 3 ). Such
system can be expanded to the global scale relatively easily (data and methods are ready available). With the
collaboration of GLP and its network of global organizations and the potential involvement of Google Earth ®
as a partner, this can be the basis of a Pantropical or Global system of good quality rapid land use change
detection.
In addition to these continental/global scale initiatives I´ll be particularly interested in promoting activities in
extra-Amazon Latin America; where I feel I can contribute more given my experience and comparatively less
development of land use sciences. In particular, I have strong experience in Chaco dry forests and montane
ecosystems, both areas for which I currently lead projects sponsored by Argentine scientific systems. In the
coming years, I would like to organize the following two workshops
3) Synthesizing land use and land cover drivers and ecological effects in the Gran Chaco Region (Argentina,
Paraguay, Bolivia); and
4) Identifying conservation and research priorities in the Puna highlands in relation to Mining, climate change,
and Land use change.

General Information
• Name: Andreas Heinimann
•
PLANNING
Planning Period: May 2012 – May 2013
1. Goals (how you will contribute to GLP, challenges, opportunities, etc.
• Enhanced transparency concerning
concerning large scale land acquisitions (LSA) through the development of an
Observatory of Large Scale Land Acquisitions (OLA) in collaboration with ILC.
• Concretising global debates and discourses in local realities in development contexts while feeding
them with
th respective empirical evidence
• Capture and visualize the multilevel claims on land in an exemplary manner on national level in Laos
2. Future Activities (activities should be jointly organized, etc.)
• We are currently discussion with persons involved in NASA –LCLUC
LCLUC to get a pilot project going to
test the potential of multiple RS archives to detect LSA specific pattern. This could be a nice GLPGLP
LCLUC activity
•
We are organizing the 3rd International Conference on Research for Development (ICRD 2012) with
wi
a focus on Research for Global Transformation (20 - 22 August 2012, Bern, Switzerland) which may
be of interest to several GLP goals and members
3. Outreach and Capacity Building Activities (activities should be jointly organized, etc.)
SYNTHESIS PHASE
1. Goals (how are you planning to contribute to the synthesis phase?)
•
Besides various other inputs my main contribution to the synthesis phase could be focused on linking
global debates with national and local realities in a development context.
2. Synthesis Products (what are the appropriate synthesis products?)
•
As far as I remember we discussed this in-depth
in depth in the last SSC and the main products (favoured over
the classical “book publication”) in my memory were: Journal special issues, Online media
m
(e.g.
Encyclopedia of Earth),
), and events such as OSM.
3. 2013 Open Science Meeting (which should be the main focus?)
• Maybe slightly too early and ambitious but I think we should slowly start to think about possible
possi post
REDD (+) approaches. Based on my personally experience I just feel that the current REDD
approaches and mechanisms will fail in many development context, and it would be good to start to
rethink this. But this is maybe too early for a OSM topic, but
but could maybe better be taken up along
the on-going synthesis

HARINI NAGENDRA
Global Land Project
SSC Fact Sheet
General Information
• Name: Harini Nagendra
•
PLANNING
I am specifically interested in three areas related to land use/land cover
c
change
1. Reforestation – understanding the drivers of reforestation, especially as related to South Asia
2. The impacts of different types of institutions and governance structures (such as, but not limited to,
protected areas and community forests) on land
land use/land cover change and fragmentation
3. Urbanization and its impacts on biodiversity, ecosystem services, landscape connectivity and land
use/land cover change – including the linkages between rural and urban regions
2. Future Activities (activities should
hould be jointly organized, etc.)
Can be through joint workshops, conference sessions, or special issues of journals – on two possible topics
as described above, on Reforestation or on Urbanization
3. Outreach and Capacity Building Activities (activitiess should be jointly organized, etc.)
Can be through joint workshops, or participation in capacity building activities of projects such as A_Globe
(GEOBON activity, currently under review by EU-FP7,
EU FP7, where I am involved in several aspects including
capacity building)
SYNTHESIS PHASE
I would be interested in collaborating with existing groups within GLP already working on the synthesis
phase – with special reference to any/all of the above themes – the role of institutions and governance;
biodiversity and ecosystem function; urbanization; and reforestation
Ideally, short papers in visible journals with a longer, freely
freely downloadable report with full details – and
possibly some edited journal volumes and/or books
Workshops for young scientists centered around framing of grand challenges as envisioned by them, under
different themes, may be a great way to inject some fresh
fresh ideas into this, as well as for capacity building and
cross-talk
The main focus should be broad, ideally, like the past meeting – a sort of umbrella theme to prevent
exclusion and maximize
mize participation. Within this, specific themes could include – cross-linkages between
urbanization, climate change and land use/cover change; resilience and adaptation at multiple scales;
restoration and resilience; biodiversity, ecosystem function and services,
services, and land use/cover change;
institutions, governance and policies for greater resilience; local and global linkages and tradeoffs between
agriculture, urban systems and bio-fuels
bio
etc
Other Comments
More online material for capacity building and outreach
o
could be developed – this will significantly broaden our reach.
For instance, some online tutorials or workshops on modelling, or scenario building – skills that many young
researchers would like to build and integrate with more commonly used tools such as RS/GIS, but do not know how to.
This is of course quite a task, but perhaps funding sources could be sought to help…we need to figure out how to
creatively use the internet to reach as wide a community of participants as possible. GLP is already doing
d
a lot in this
regard through its newsletters and website, and what is already there is excellent, but we can build on this further.

PLANNING
My main contribution to GLP will be on land use change at forest-agriculture
forest agriculture frontiers in the
tropics. Understanding the multiple pathways of change in these areas and their consequences for
social and natural environments is essential for both national and international policy-making.
policy
Specifically, I will contribute through my involvement in several REDD+ projects, where we look
at the potential impacts of implementing REDD+ in these areas, both in terms of reducing emissions
and improving local livelihoods.
I will co-organize
anize two REDD+ oriented conferences and workshops (November 2012 and May
2013) that could be of interest to GLP members.
PhD course at University of Copenhagen, in October 2012: Land use change in developing
countries: Consequences for social and natural environments
SYNTHESIS PHASE
Despite the considerable research in many specific areas and a new wave of theories or frameworks
for describing planetary development (the anthropocene, planetary boundaries, etc.), we still have
insufficient knowledge on many rather basic issues. Understanding of the rapidly changing and
complex landscapes
es in the tropics in terms nutrient cycles, carbon stocks, water management, sociosocio
economic impacts etc. is not keeping up with the development occurring there. Moreover, many
internationally negotiated mechanisms – e.g. REDD+ – are based on assumptions rather
ra
than
science and are in need of a stronger science-based
science based platform. I would like to contribute with better
understanding of some of these processes through the research projects mentioned above.
2. Synthesis Products (what are the appropriate synthesis
synthes products?)
1. It could be useful to have an overview of the outcome of GLP endorsed or other related projects
and assess to what extent these projects have contributed to advancing the science as described in
the Science Plan and in general.
2. This assessment
sessment could guide the research efforts during the synthesis phase that could aim at
addressing research gaps identified by the projects. For example, there are many case studies on
very diverse topics related to land change science and although some meta-studies
met studies have been
undertaken, there is almost certainly scope for more.
I think the goals and products of the synthesis as mentioned above should be part of the meeting
focus. Moreover, I think
hink it is important that the GLP Open Science Meeting 2013, like the previous
meeting, gives new science the centre stage.

1) Some payment mechanisms to support ecosystem services can be environmentally
env
harmful
Some payment mechanisms to support ecosystem services can be environmentally harmful, warn
experts in the journal Science. In the face of growing global interest for using markets to induce
people to take account of the environmental costs
costs of their behaviour, payment for Ecosystem Service
(ES) schemes (or PES) have become increasingly popular. The publication identifies both the main
failings in existing environmental markets and market like mechanisms and the conditions that need
to be satisfied for new mechanisms to do better. The paper summarizes the characteristics of a
number of ES, in terms of public-good
public
type, verifiability,, special characteristics, temporal
characteristics and jurisdictional issues. Some recommendations with regards
regards to PES are:
•
Mechanisms require careful design to be effective. In particular an
a understanding is
necessary of the linkages among biodiversity, ecological function,
function, and ES, as well as the
incentives for private provision of these resources.
•
Prices are only
nly useful indicators of change in resource scarcity if they capture all
significant effects of resource use.
•
The choice of the type of mechanism has to be suited to the ES in question
•
Careful consideration needs to be applied given possible interdependence
interdependenc between
services that can lead to unwanted feedbacks (e.g. where incentives to improve one ES
can have adverse effects on others)
•
Other metrics are necessary where it is not possible to use prices as indicators of the
scarcity of ES. Such metrics can include Environmental and Economic Accounts with the
view to develop consistent, comprehensive wealth accounts that include changes in
environmental assets.
•
PES should not be burdened with objectives such as income transfers, that go beyond
delivery of ES (aims of poverty reduction should not prevent PES schemes from
signalling the scarcity of ES).

2) Recommendation for a new analytical framework: land teleconnections
A re-conceptualization of urban land teleconnections and formulation of new analytical frameworks
for the study of land that explicitly incorporates urban and urban-rural dynamics is suggested by a
joint workshop of UGEC (IHDP’s urbanization core project) and GLP. The land research community
has historically focused on rural and frontier landscapes, with relatively little attention on urbanization
or the rural-urban connections across time and space. Many of the current analytical frameworks take
a negative view of urbanization and its impact on land. However, urbanization can also present
opportunities for increased efficiency of land and resource use, and yet there is no conceptual
framework that fully addresses the linkages and bi-directionalities between urban and non-urban uses
of land. The workshop group suggests a focus on urban teleconnections as an analytical framework
that focusses on distal flows and linkages of people, economic goods, information and services with
implications for land systems, driving and responding to urbanization.
Context: [This is based on the workshop “Sustainable Land Use in an Urbanizing World”, which was
funded and organized through the Global Land Project (GLP) and the Urbanization and Global
Environmental Change (UGEC) projects. The workshop was held in Copenhagen, Denmark on the
27-29th June 2011, a GLP/UGEC report (to be published early in 2012) and a peer-reviewed journal
publication (submitted to PNAS) are in preparation].
3) Transformation from swidden (also known as shifting cultivation or slash-and-burn) to other
land uses in tropical forest-agriculture frontiers often has negative environmental and social
effects.
A meta-analysis of land-cover transformations of the past 10-15 years in tropical forest-agriculture
frontiers world-wide shows that swidden agriculture decreases in landscapes with access to local,
national and international markets that encourage cattle production and cash cropping, including
biofuels. Conservation policies and practices also accelerate changes in swidden by restricting forest
clearing and encouraging commercial agriculture. However, swidden remains important in many
frontier areas where farmers have unequal or insecure access to investment and market
opportunities, or where multi-functionality of land uses has been preserved as a strategy to adapt to
current ecological, economic and political circumstances.
The transformation of swidden landscapes into more intensive land uses has generally increased
household incomes, but has also led to negative effects on the social and human capital of local
communities to varying degrees. From an environmental perspective, the transition from swidden to
other land uses often contributes to permanent deforestation, loss of biodiversity, increased weed
pressure, declines in soil fertility, and accelerated soil erosion. The meta analysis predicts that,
despite the global trend towards land use intensification, in many areas swidden will remain part of
rural landscapes as the safety component of diversified systems, particularly in response to risks and
uncertainties associated with more intensive land use systems.
Context: [“Trends, drivers and impacts of changes in swidden cultivation in tropical forest-agriculture
frontiers: a global assessment.” Accepted for publication in Global Environmental Change (van Vliet
et al.). This paper is based on the GLP co-organized workshop: “Forest-agriculture frontiers: impacts
of land-use transitions on livelihoods and environment in the humid tropics'”, November 2-3rd 2009,
Vientiane, Laos. This was a joint workshop of the Global Land Project (GLP) and the research
project ‘Transition of Shifting Cultivation at Forest-Agriculture Frontiers’].
4) Land change modellers and earth system modellers benefit from enhanced interactions
Human actions mediated through the global land system are critical in understanding the functioning
of the broader earth system and its response to global environmental change. Land system change
not only impacts on the earth system, but also responds to earth system changes through a series of
feedbacks. Yet, in spite of this, human actions have tended to be considered as external drivers in
global-scale, Earth System Models. Where human actions are included explicitly in global models,
Co-sponsor logos
Page 2 of 9
such as Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs) or macro-economic models, they lack representation
of the diversity of human behavioural and decisional processes. Better interactions between earth
system models and land change models are needed as well as innovative methods to better include
human agency and feedbacks on institutional structures in global scale land change models.
Context: [A small expert group came together in November 2011 in Crackenback, Australia for a GLP
sponsored workshop to discuss how to progress research thinking in this field. Many of the
participants were involved in a range of activities from across the IGBP and IHDP projects. Delegates
represented the GLP, AIMES, iLEAPS and the Earth System Governance Project research
communities].
5) Recommendations on land use transitions in South America
South America has experienced important land use transitions in the past particularly because of
expanding large-scale agriculture in countries such as Brazil and Argentina, and the region will
continue to face major public policy decisions if they are to combine economic growth, income
distribution, and environmental sustainability. One of the key challenges is to better understand global
processes (social, economic and political) affecting land use transitions across the region, and the
types of land use outcomes resulted from multilevel institutional arrangements. To strengthen
institutions is required as well to supply broad access to vulnerability assessment results. Research
on developing suitable observing systems, data and models are also needed to understand the
barriers and tradeoffs for realizing land potentials. Finally, all the research could be complementary to
set up policy- making decision at different institutional levels aiming a sustainable future for the
region.
Context: [Invited scientists came together in November 2011 in Ilhabela, Brazil for a GLP/INPE
sponsored workshop to discuss main challenges of land use transitions in South America around four
strategic themes: governance and institutions, vulnerability, environmental services and modelling
and data provision/analysis. The workshop also served as a kick off of the GLP IPO transition to
Brazil].

In 2011 GLP continues to operate with an IPO based in Copenhagen, funded by the University of
Copenhagen, but now with only two Nodal Offices (Beijing and Sapporo), after the Aberdeen Nodal
Office had to close in March 2011. The IPO has one full-time executive officer and a 75% position as an
administrative officer.
Lars Jorgensen leaves the IPO in October 2011 and is replaced by Rico Kongsager (on a short-term
contract until January 2012).
Funding for the IPO is only secured until the end of our second funding phase with Copenhagen
University (1st: 2006-2008, 2nd 2008-2011), and runs out end December 2011.
From 1st January 2012 the GLP IPO will be hosted and funded at the Brazilian Space Research
Institute (INPE), in Sao Jose dos Campos, SP, Brazil. The IPO will be led by the new executive officer
Giovana Espinolda, who is supported by Camille Nolasco (part-time).
Anette Reenberg will step down from her position as chair by December 2011. From January 2012
Peter Verburg (VU Amsterdam) will be chair of the GLP:
Tobias Langanke will continue to support the transition based at the Copenhagen office until around 1th
February 2012.
Nodal Offices: The GLP Nodal Offices continued their valuable work for GLP in 2011. The current
situation is as follows:
o Aberdeen Nodal Office: The Aberdeen Nodal Office has been supported with funds from the
Macaulay Institute since it was established in 2007. From 1th April Macaulay is joined with
SCRI to form a new Institute “The James Hutton Institute” The new Institute will not be
funding the Nodal Office from 1st April and Richard Aspinall is not being transferred to the
new Institute.The GLP Nodal Office has therefore shut down on 31th March 2011. Carol Ann
will continue to support and be involved with the forthcoming (Environmental Modelling &
Software) thematic issue on spatial agent based models for socio-ecological systems. She is
a co-editor with Dawn C Parker, Peter Verburg and Tatiana Filatova. Richard Aspinall and
Carol Ann will continue as Editor and Editorial Assistant respectively for the Journal of Land
Use Science.
o Beijing Nodal Office: Continues to operate based at the Institute of Geographic Sciences and
Natural Resources Research, CAS with Dr. He-Quing Huang as executive director. The
Beijing Nodal Office currently has 3 research fellows, one admin. Staff and Dr. Lin Zhen as
the deputy director.
o Sapporo Nodal Office: Funding: GCOE (Global Center of Excellence) of Hokkaido University
will provide the financial support of the basic activity of Sapporo nodal office for 2011-2012.
That includes the salary of a part-time administrative staff for the office and the international
summer school for PhD students in 2011. Staff: At the end of 2010 the Executive Officer for
the Sapporo Nodal Office (Ademola Braimoh) left Japan for his new position as senior natural
resources management specialist at the Agriculture and Rural Development Department at
the World Bank. Professor Teiji Watanabe at Faculty of Environmental Earth Science of
Hokkaido University is currently in charge as the interim executive director of Sapporo Nodal
Office.

(a) links/activities with the observation community (e.g., meetings attended, activities, data you are providing).
•
GLP attended the NASA LCLUC meeting (28-30th March 2011 in Washington), invited presentation
by Anette Reenberg and Anthony Janetos as keynote speaker.
•
GLP now has close institutional links to INPE (with the new IPO based at INPE)
•
On suggestion of the IPO, Peter Verburg and Karlheinz Erb participate in a workshop on “GEOSS
support for IPCC assessments – A workshop on the data needs of the climate impacts, adaptation
and vulnerability research community”, 1-4th February 2011, Geneva.
b) the observation and data products you are using from e.g. ESA, NASA.
Researchers and projects liked to GLP routinely use all sorts of EO data and products, from 1km
resolution NDVI data to very high resolution aerial photographs, satellite images, hyperspectral data
etc. Given however that GLP as such is not a user of data products, it is difficult to list specific data
products as “being used by GLP”.
c) additional needs: With regards to EO data, GLP continues to promote the creative and innovative
combination of RS and EO data with data coming from the social sciences (e.g. household surveys,
official statistics etc.), while at the same time encouraging further developments in RS and related
data products, such as land-cover and land-use products. While the technical development in RS and
EO continues to focus on improved land-cover classifications, the weak link or bottleneck for research
on social-ecological systems remains the social science integration.
11. Other comments
Overall in 2011 and 2012 GLP faces the simultaneous challenges of starting with a new IPO arrangement, a
new chair, and working with a SSC that is in major transition (has 4 new members in 2011 and 5 additional
new ones in 2012). At the same time GLP continues to plan for its synthesis phase and products, as well as
for a second major open science conference.

The Global Land Project (GLP) is the successor of the IGBP/IHDP core project LUCC and the IGBP core project GCTE. GLP focuses on the interactions of people,
biota, and natural resources of terrestrial and aquatic systems. The science plan emphasizes the study of changes in the coupled human-environmental
system at local to regional scales. Changes in coupled human-environmental systems also affect the rates of cycling of energy, water, elements, and biota at
the global level, while global-level changes in political economy, such as international treaties and market liberalization, in turn affect decisions about
resources at local and regional levels. The aim of GLP is to measure, model and understand the coupled human-environmental system ( “land system”) as part
of broader efforts to address changes in Earth processes and subsequent social, economic and political consequences. The Global Land Project is one of IGBP
and IHDP's co-sponsored signature core science projects.
3. Quote from Project Chair on highlight for your project or research field in 2011 (300 characters max.)
GLP started planning it's synthesis phase and organized a number of successful events. Among many other results, a major outcome of the 2010 GLP
conference was published in the journal science in November 2011. GLP continued to cooperate with UGEC in a joint workshop, in which we discussed and
developed a vision for a new conceptual framework of urban-land teleconnections that would enable a novel approach to local-to-global-scale land use
change processes. A GLP sponsored workshop was organized in Australia to discuss how to progress research linking models of human behavior and decision
making processes with land system models. In Brazil, the new IPO invited scientists to attend a GLP workshop and discuss main challenges of land use
transitions in South America.

4. Most important scientific findings, answers or insights for your project in 2011 (1500 characters max.)
• Some payment mechanisms to support ecosystem services can be environmentally harmful, warn experts in the journal Science (a publication based on a
side event at the 2010 GLP OSM). In the face of growing global interest for using markets to induce people to take account of the environmental costs of their
behaviour, payment for Ecosystem Service (ES) schemes (or PES) have become increasingly popular. The publication identifies both the main failings in
existing environmental markets and marketlike mechanisms and the conditions that need to be satisfied for new mechanisms to do better. The paper
summarizes the characteristics of a number of ES, in terms of public-good type, verifiability, special characteristics, temporal characteristics and jurisdictional
issues.
• A re-conceptualization of urban land teleconnections and formulation of new analytical frameworks for the study of land that explicitly incorporates urban
and urban-rural dynamics is suggested by a joint workshop of UGEC (IHDP’s urbanization core project) and GLP.
• Transformation from swidden (also known as shifting cultivation or slash-and-burn) to other land uses in tropical forest-agriculture frontiers often has
negative environmental and social effects. Worldwide swidden agriculture decreases, but will remain a part of many rural landscapes in tropical forestagriculture frontiers.
• Human actions mediated through the global land system are critical in understanding the functioning of the broader earth system and its response to global
environmental change. Better interactions between earth system models and land change models are needed as well as innovative methods to better include
human agency and feedbacks on institutional structures in global scale land change models.
• South America has experienced significant land use transitions in the past, especially due to the expansion of large-scale agriculture in countries such as
Brazil and Argentina. Global processes (social, economic and political) affect land use transitions in South America, and the types of land use outcomes result
from multilevel institutional arrangements needed to be deeply understood.
5. Scientific development - the strategic direction of the project in 2012 (500 characters max.)
GLP faces a number of challenges and opportunities at the end of 2011. The main objectives for 2012 are to detail strategic planning for GLP Synthesis Phase
for the coming years. This includes a possible major book publication in the style of the LUCC book and targeted high-level research oriented and policy
oriented outputs. GLP goals for 2012 also include a smooth transition in the face of a combined challenge from a) new Chair from 2012 (Peter Verburg), b)
new IPO based at INPE in Brazil from 2012, c) new Executive Officer (Giovana Espindola) and IPO staff and d) major transition in the SSC with 4 SSC members
starting 2011 and 6 SSC members starting 2012. Our other objectives are to ensure also a smooth transition and embedding GLP within the new ‘Future Earth’
initiative. And finally, to enhance collaboration and joint activities with the other core projects of IGBP and IHDP and the IPCC and IPBES activities.
