Launch event: Presentation of the report Rethinking Land in the Anthropocene

BiodiversityFood SecurityLanduseClimate

Only if there is a fundamental change in the way we manage land, we can reach the targets of climate-change mitigation, avert the dramatic loss of biodiversity and make the global food system sustainable, this is the key message of the report “Rethinking Land in the Anthropocene: from Separation to Integration”, recently submitted to the German Federal Government.

    The report will be presented for the first time (in English) to the public and commented by two invited experts. The subsequent discussion (incl. Q&A) will focus on the problems and challenges of governance and implementation on the ground.
