Welcome
LUPIS is an EU funded project run by 16 institutes in 13 countries. The project
started on February 1, 2007 and will run for a period of 42 months (July 31, 2010).
The project will develop integrated assessment tools for sustainable development
for application by scientists in a selected number of developing countries, and
the tools developed in the EU 6th framework projects of
SENSOR and
SEAMLESS will
be used both as building blocks in and guidelines for the project.
Main goals of the LUPIS project:
• Development of tools that are both generic and flexible,
and that can be applied
to a range of conditions in developing countries to perform ex-ante policy assessments
• Results will be compatible with the Group on Earth Observations (GEO) initiative
on data management to provide harmonised databases and services to be integrated
in the Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS)
• Through the predominant involvement of scientists from developing countries,
use
will be made of the tools developed by the SENSOR and SEAMLESS projects and adjusted
to fit into the conditions in developing countries
• This effort will enable improved capacity for analysis of the impacts of land
use policies on sustainable development, where the focus will specifically be on
bio-diversity, public goods and services
