Building international institutions for sustainable land management in Europe

Roll, Gulnara et al.

The geographical focus of this paper is greater Europe, a region, which includes the European Union, Eastern Europe, the Caucasus and Central Asia. The paper presents a review of the different institutions involved in land administration and land management in greater Europe; as well as an analysis of possible ways to improve synergies and intersectoral linkages between those institutions through international cooperation. Based on this review, it elaborates proposals for strengthening land resource governance systems in the region, highlighting the role of intergovernmental agencies and initiatives to support these synergies and linkages. The paper draws on new research by the UNECE and from analysis carried out by World Bank-financed projects in the region.
