Anotace knihy

This volume develops a conceptual framework for a more comprehensive assessment of economic costs of land degradation by incorporating the value of terrestrial ecosystem services. It also provides with corresponding analytical methods, based on comparing the costs and benefits of taking action against land degradation versus the costs of inaction. The book applies these methods to determine the cost of land degradation at global, regional and national levels in 12 case study countries. The drivers of land degradation are analyzed across scales, leading to policy implications to achieve sustainable land management. The volume consists of individual chapters written by 53 multi-disciplinary authors from all geographic and socio-economic regions, woven together into a single narrative giving compelling arguments for addressing land degradation. To ensure the necessary external validity of country level results, the 12 case study countries were carefully selected to represent different global biophysical and socio-economic characteristics, accounting for 43% of the global population and 28% of the land area.
