Workshop organized in collaboration between ZEF, UCL (Université catholique de Louvain), the SDSN (Sustainable Development Solutions Network) and SEI (Stockholm Environment Institute).

The goal of the workshop was to bring together researchers working in areas of Land Use / Land Cover Change to discuss leakage and spillovers effects and:

• Identify how Leakage and spillover mechanisms occur across scale
• Identify the relationship between Leakage and supply-chains interventions
• Understand spillovers between large-scale companies and smallholders
• Identify susceptibility of regions, commodities, and interventions to be source or sink of leakage
• Identify Gaps in research - determine different types and characteristics of leakage or spillovers

Please find the program of the workshop here.

You can watch the presentations on ZEF's youtube channel and download the presentations.
