Land Use Change for Mitigation is a project that will analyse the land use change impacts that will occur under different Greenhouse Gas (GHG) mitigation scenarios. The Ministry for Primary Industries is seeking to procure economic analysis of the land use change response to changes in emissions target levels. Different targets for GHG emissions will be outlined in scenarios decided upon by an export panel appointed by BERG. Under each scenario the optimum land use will be found, within constraints set by the panel. This project will look at the economic costs of change, this includes the impact on EBIT, GDP, the change in productivity, and the change in employment.
The project will also analyse the costs and benefits of the expected changes to water quality, erosion and other environmental impacts, and the social issues on communities where changes will occur.
Analysis of the barriers to change are expected to provide a key output in this report. These will be reflected in the modelled outcomes in the land use optimisation.
