Creating land use-land cover baselines for monitoring Land Degradation Neutrality in Switzerland

2022
<p>The non-availability of annual land cover maps for Switzerland at the national and local levels hampers setting a Land Degradation Neutrality (LDN) baseline (2000 – 2015) and monitoring until the year 2030. Land cover change is an LDN sub-indicator required to assess the proportion of degraded land to total land area ...

Unveiling land degradation neutrality: a nonlinear perspective framework for unexpected land degradation in Kazakhstan

The unexpected land degradation in dryland regions has become a focal issue of global climate change and human activity since the onset of the Anthropocene. Therefore, conducting land degradation assessments from a nonlinear perspective is crucial to achieve the goal of Land Degradation Neutrality and Sustainable Development Goal (SDG 15.3.1).

Land Degradation Neutrality in India: Pathways and Challenges

Indian Journal of Dryland Agricultural Research and Development
AbstractThe process of land degradation is a prime global concern threatening all life forms on this planet. The concept of Land Degradation Neutrality (LDN) etches a direction and provides an objective framework towards tackling this problem. However, achievement of LDN by any nation requires effective policies, enhanced information systems, research ...
