Land-Use Planning For Low-Emission Development Strategies (LUWES)

Land-based, climate-change mitigation actions that are pro-poor and oriented towards ‘green’ development need spatially explicit
land-use planning processes that are inclusive, informed and integrative. Bringing multi-stakeholder land-use planning processes to life, beyond rhetoric, needs a breakthrough in political willingness, multi-stakeholder buy-in and technical capacities that allows negotiation platforms to operate. The LUWES approach is gaining followers and adopters. The application is illustrated using the case of TanjungJabungBarat (Tanjabar) district, Jambi province, Indonesia.
