Land in balance: The scientific conceptual framework for Land Degradation Neutrality

Environmental Science & Policy, 2018
The health and productivity of global land resources are declining, while demand for those resources is increasing. The aim of land degradation neutrality (LDN) is to maintain or enhance land-based natural capital and its associated ecosystem services.

Assessing UN indicators of land degradation neutrality and proportion of degraded land for Botswana using remote sensing based national level metrics [PDF]

, 2021
Achieving land degradation neutrality (LDN) has been proposed as a way to stem the loss of land resources globally. To date, LDN operationalization at the country level has remained a challenge both from a policy and science perspective.
