LUP4LDN

LUP4LDN (Land Use Planning for LDN) is a web-based tool that empowers users to visualize and assess land degradation. It utilizes global land degradation indicators, historical data, and future projections. LUP4LDN promotes participatory decision-making through multi-stakeholder discussions and remote collaboration. It addresses the full set of LDN entry points in the ILUP-ILM cycle, offering spatial maps and statistics on current and past degradation. Users can anticipate future degradation risks and select sustainable land management innovations to create scenarios for improved land management. These scenarios translate into LDN scenarios, showcasing their impact on global LDN indicators. However, access to computer facilities is necessary for its effective utilization.
