Subproject 4
Socio-economic scenarios and adaptation/prevention strategies

· WP8: Land use change, agriculture and socio-economic implications
The primary objective of the work package is to reveal deep and comprehensive insights into the complex net of impacts and interdependencies of climate variability and change and anthropogenic adaptation measures to climate change on land use, agriculture and deforestation.

Specific objectives
· To identify causal chain relationship between climate change (scenarios) and induced anthropogenic reactions on land use, agriculture, bio energy and deforestation

· To carry out an assessment making explicit the strong relationship existing between land use systems, climate and water cycle, in order to define integrated adaptation strategies to climate change impacts

· To elaborate scenarios of potential future land use options identifying its impacts on potential social and economic implications

· To develop an indicator framework for the development of an assessment tool to be integrated on a later stage into a warning and decision support system for decision makers.
