Optimizing Carbon, Soil Health and Yield in Coffee-Forest Systems as a Climate-Smart Land Management in Ethiopia (CoffeeLand)


CoffeeLand is an interdisciplinary research project aimed at advancing climate-smart land management in Ethiopia’s coffee-forest systems, which are critical for biodiversity, livelihoods, and global Arabica coffee genetic resources. These systems support millions of smallholder farmers but are increasingly threatened by climate change, land-use pressure, and declining productivity.

Carbon sequestration in Norwegian spruce forest soils (CONSEQUENCE)


Norway has pledged to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions, and one of the strategies and ultimate goal is to increase the short and long-term sequestration of organic carbon in forest soil to enhance the carbon stock of soil organic carbon in forests. Altering forest management strategies, such as extending rotation periods and clear-cutting methods, may change soil carbon storage, accumulation and loss.

EU Climate Policy Implications for Land Use in Norway: Managing Trade-offs and Achieving Policy Coherence (ClimaLand)


The ClimaLand project will investigate trade-offs between policy goals, governance levels, and sector interests, and seek to identify how to design more coherent climate and land-use policies. An important objective is to investigate how conflicting policy goals can be handled and various considerations and land-use interests balanced.
