"Global change, caused by growing population densities and rising economic production levels, is increasingly placing pressure on scarce land resources. These changes do not always contribute to sustainable development and often increase the pressure on the natural resources that we depend on. Our impact on the environment is immense, and we are fast approaching several tipping points. Without proper management, these environments and the natural resources they provide will be depleted and degraded, sometimes irreversibly. They will no longer be able to provide society with essential services (water, food, carbon sequestration, temperature and rainfall regulation, pest regulation etc.)."@en .

"Land Administration encompasses four fields i.e. land tenure, land use, land value and land development. These four fields are also referred to as land management practices. This course focuses on the land management practices in the context of the policy frameworks and sustainable development. The land management paradigm is used a guiding framework. The land management paradigm stresses the relationship between land policy and the four land administration functions i.e. land tenure, land value, land use and land development – and the wider societal goals. As such, legal frameworks, institutions, processes, interventions, successes and challenges are discussed in the context of social, economic, environmental pillars of development. Further, how these land management practices also link with emerging issues such as climate change are also discussed. The course therefore addresses both conventional and innovative ways of land management, promoting a paradigm shift towards responsible land administration. The course relates state-of-the-art scientific knowledge to students' experiences, perceptions and country context. "@en . "Responsible Land Administration"@en . .
