Het Milieu- en Natuurplanbureau wil voor landschap een monitorsysteem gaan opbouwen. In dit rapport staat de vraag centraal, of beschikbare landsdekkende bestanden gebruikt kunnen worden, ter vervanging van veldwaarnemingen en luchtfoto's
Dit rapport vormt een naslagwerk bij de Natuurbalans 2006. Het geeft een overzicht van de gegevens die het LEI in opdracht van het Milieu- en Natuurplanbureau ten behoeve van de Natuurbalans 2006 heeft geïnventariseerd en geanalyseerd. De aandacht gaat daarbij uit naar veranderingen in het landschap tussen 1990 en 2005, met een focus op de dynamiek in grondgebruik en grondgebruikers in het landelijk gebied in de afgelopen 15 jaar. Trefwoorden: landschap, ruimtegebruik, dragers landelijk gebied, ontwikkelingen landelijk gebied.
IPCC (2001) indicates that climate change will take place despite the mitigation strategies that are going to be implemented. This calls for adaptation strategies in order to reduce the vulnerability to climate change. The aim of this project was to make a policy assessment to contribute to a more thorough understanding of the adaptation options, their costs and benefits and the policy conclusions that could be attached to the results.
Voor de Natuurbalans 2005 heeft het Milieu- en Natuurplanbureau analyses verricht van veranderingen in het ruimtegebruik en het effect daarvan op de kwaliteit van het landschap. Verstedelijking speelt daar een belangrijke rol in. Tevens neemt men verstening waar in het landelijk gebied: landbouwbedrijven krijgen een meer industrieel karakter met grote schuren en silo's

The conference reviewed the current state-of-knowledge of dryland ecosystems; it identified important knowledge gaps for defining future paths of research into drylands; and it commemorated fifty years of dryland research in the UN system in the context of the International Year of Deserts and Desertification. The conference - in a cross-cutting manner - also addressed issues related to research and science needed for dryland conservation, policy options for sustainable dryland development, and necessary interventions and
The Government of Namibia has identi ed land degradation as a serious problem which demands remedial intervention, and recognizes that integrated ecosystem management strategies are needed to e ectively address the underlying causes.The goal of the Country Pilot Partnership for Integrated Sustainable Land Management (CPP-ISLM) is to work towards combating land degradation by using integrated cross-sectoral approaches, which would enable Namibia to ensure environmental sustainability as well as the protection of dry land ecosystems and their functions.
