This publication is based on the work of more than 600 scientists and synthesizes experiences and practice-relevant results from a 7-year German-funded international research programme on interactions between land management, climate change, and ecosystems and their services.

It includes 30 technologies and approaches documented using WOCAT standardized tools. The book shows how research can support decision makers and advisors from a variety of sectors -at national, regional, and local levels- in comprehending the complexity of sustainable land management. It assists them in identifying and developing suitable solutions for prevention or restoration of land degradation, improvement of yields, increasing resilience in production systems, and making water management more efficient. A special focus targets measures for climate change adaptation and mitigation. For further information on the book please visit
