IHDP: Role and Objectives
Generate scientific knowledge on integrated human-environment systems
Achieve comprehensive understanding of global environmental change processes and their consequences for sustainable development
Make scientific contributions to explore:
the anthropogenic drivers of global environmental change
the impact of such change on human welfare
human responses to global environmental change

IHDP
Themes Vulnerability and hazards
Global change / land- / sea-use and coastal development
Anthropogenic influences on river basin / coastal zone interactions
Fate and transformation of materials in coastal and shelf waters
Systems understanding for sustainable management of land-ocean interactions
Dynamic interactions of people and environment in coastal zones
Changes in components of the Earth system and the role of coastal zones in global cycles
Effects of future changes in coastal zones on their use
Scientific basis for integrated and sustainable coastal management
Research Foci “New” LOICZ
IHDP
Activities
Cross temporal and spatial approaches and regional comparative analyses
Emerging foci: carbon, water, health, vulnerability studies, peri-urban landscapes
Contribution to regional and global integrated models
Scientific basis for urban planning and managment
Interactions between global environmental change and urban processes
Rate, intensity and scale of urban and environmental change and mutual impacts Pathways of transformations of urban systems
Challenges for sustainability of urban areas
Research Foci Urbanization
IHDP
Themes
Causes and nature of Land System change
Consequences of Land System change
Integrating analysis and modelling for Land sustainability
Measure, model, and understand the coupled human-environmental terrestrial system (“Land System”) and the socio-natural dynamics underlying land cover, land use and land use change Complex, simultaneous interactions between societal, natural and mixed processes at different spatio-temporal scales Combining the detailed regional with a global, comparative perspective
