ELD Campus

The Economics of Land Degradation (ELD) Initiative aims to create awareness about the costs of land degradation and the benefits of sustainable land management (SLM).

ELD Campus provides high level training and capacity improvement for policymakers, scientists and academics who want to learn about the significance and application of ecosystem services valuation. It is available in French and English.

In particular, ELD Campus provides:

1. An overview of the rationale behind economic valuation of ecosystem service

2. An understanding of how economic valuation is done

3. Guidance on how the information can be used:

  • in policy-making and planning regarding land use;
  • for practitioners;
  • to integrate into training curricula.
4. In-depth methodological guidance on how to apply the ELD approach.
