Abstract
The conversion of (semi-)natural vegetation to other land uses is related to several environmental problems, including climate change and the loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services. Land use change (LUC) is a significant source of greenhouse gas emissions, and preventing the conversion of forests, peat lands and other ecosystems is an important climate mitigation opportunity. If bioenergy feedstocks are cultivated on newly converted land or displace previous food production, then GHG emissions related to LUC can reduce or even negate the climate mitigation potential of bioenergy products. Efforts to reduce LUC are ongoing via various public, private, voluntary and regulatory approaches at local, national and global scales. Although positive trends are evident, further efforts are needed to reduce LUC against a background of growing land use competition. Trade-offs exist between food security, development and environmental targets, and any measures taken need to consider local and global effects, direct and indirect impacts, leakage effects, and environmental and socioeconomic consequences. The impact of bioenergy production on global land use competition can be reduced by promoting feedstocks that do not compete with food or feed crops for land.
