Vulnerability and adaptation: sustainable

Research questions


What are the combined effects of global change on
functions and services of land and water?



What can land and water management contribute to
mitigate climate change?



What is the interaction with current land and water
use and what are the social and economic
consequences?



What are barriers and opportunities to increase the
adaptive capacity of land use and water systems?



Impacts





Direct: energy balance, temperature, CO2, rainfall
Indirect: pest & diseases, floods, salt intrusion

Vulnerability



Areas: coastal zone, river valleys, (semi)-arid,
peatlands.
Groups: poor (low adaptive capacity), countries with
economies rooted in climate sensitive sectors
(agr./forestry)

The role of Land use



Mitigation





carbon sequestration: forest, nature, agriculture
emission reduction: agriculture/animal husbandry

Adaptation



changes in farm and forest management
changes in landscape patterns/land use change

The role of water


Mitigation




ground water management in peat lands

Adaptation




Water resource conservation
“ruimte voor water”
Risk management

Wageningen/CCB


The Carbon Challenge





conservation of existing C pools
sequestration by increasing the size of C pools
(forest, agriculture, land use change)

Adaptation (sustainable development)





Crop level (selection, stress tolerance)
Farm/forest level (management)
Regional level (choices of functions, integration)
