🚨 Publication Alert! 🚨
Exciting new research from CRC 1502 – Project D01, led by Theresa Goebel and Wolfgang Britz, has just been published in Global Environmental Change Advances! Anticipating future land use and land cover (LULC) trajectories – key to global sustainability and climate action – requires projections which capture a broad range of socio-economic developments. This study introduces an integrated Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) modelling framework designed to generate globally consistent LULC projections. By applying the framework to the five Shared Socio-Economic Pathways (SSPs) through 2050, the authors provide valuable insights into the complex interactions between socio-economic drivers and land system dynamics. The new projections are particularly valuable for economically grounded policy assessments of LULC change and its implications - especially where timely updates, distributional effects, or regional and land use details are essential.
