The Forest and Landscape Restoration Mechanism

LAND USE PLANNING

Land-use planning is very important to minimize negative effects of land use, as it is the process that regulates the different uses of land across different sectors in the attempt to promote beneficial results both socially and environmentally, making an efficient use of resources. This module has been developed in the context of the GEF6 funded program The Restoration Initiative, in order to help countries identify the most efficient trade-offs among land use options and thus achieving sustainable land management.
