Description This report provides evidence of how increasingly
scarce resources can be conserved, and also
presents tools for policy-/decision-makers to
promote and secure future wealth and human wellbeing
through sustainable land management. It
emphasises taking long-term benefits into account
and focuses on practical solutions, as well as the
context in which sustainable land management
occurs. The report aims to ensure the returns of
sustainable land management (e.g., economic
growth, food security, sustainable livelihoods and
reduced conflict over natural resources) are realised
through the use of robust economic valuation
methodologies. The report also highlights that
sustainable land management provides additional
benefits at the national level through obligations
under other multilateral environmental
agreements, such as the UN Convention to Combat
Desertification (UNCCD), e.g., through achieving
land degradation neutrality, the UNFCCC, and the
Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD).
