“…The risk lies with the municipalities' . Private sector participants were less pessimistic suggesting that the advantage of TIF was that it might fit well with conventional Dutch planning and development practices because it is consistent with conventional practice of using residual value from the land development process to cross-subsidize a range of public goods (van der Krabben & Jacobs, 2013). The difference between those perspectives is that the latter participants tended to focus on the possible flexible ways in which TIF could be applied to facilitate investment and spread risk between more a diverse range of players-but not for climate adaptation investment, just in general.…”

“…The 2008 economic crisis had a profound impact on the Dutch development sector, which stalled many residential and office projects across the country. By way of background, in the Netherlands there has been a historic reliance on real estate value based on what is referred to as the public land development model (Needham, 2007;van der Krabben & Jacobs, 2013). The approach is largely considered unviable in the foreseeable future.…”

“…It was a model that enabled municipalities to use the market to facilitate community-level investments to deliver a range of public goods (Hartmann & Spit, 2015). This practice resulted in speculative land acquisitions and development projects, which ultimately have left many municipalities burdened with substantial land holdings, financial exposure, and over-supply of houses and offices in their communities van der Krabben & Jacobs, 2013).…”

“…National GHG inventory for land use, land use change and forestry (LULUCF) is a relatively recent policy requirement, which has critical links to economic development at both the national and regional scale: concerning food and energy security, climate change adaptation and low carbon economy (e.g. Goulet et Morlat 2011, Van der Krabben & Jacobs. 2013, Ostle et al 2009, Rounsevell & Reay 2009, USDA 2008, Exnerova & Cienciala 2009, Brown et al 2012, Lewis 2010.…”

Land dataset uncertainty: effect on Romanian National Greenhouse Gas Inventory

Abstract. The availability of long-term land datasets is fundamental to ensure consistent and accurate national greenhouse gas inventories for land use and land use changes. Estimation of Romania's CO 2 removals and emissions over 1970-2010 was assessed comparatively by using National Statistics (as reference dataset), Corine Land Cover data, as well as four additional datasets produced from the reference dataset and assuming some forest data changes according to other available partial datasets (NFI,LUCAS or expert judgment). A spreadsheet, implementing a model of UNFCCC national greenhouse gas inventory, allowed estimation of both net CO 2 removals and emissions and gross CO 2 fluxes from all carbon pools, for all land subcategories over 1970-2010. The model was run for each dataset. The reference dataset resulted in an average annual gross flux of CO 2 , twice as large as the corresponding annual net removals of 13 Tg CO 2 , while annual estimates were more than double in post-1990 compared to pre-1990. Uncertainty of net annual CO 2 removals by reference dataset was estimated around 31%, slightly lower than for gross estimate, and just around 55% when based on CLC dataset. Overall, the contribution of 12 broad land sub-categories to CO 2 inventory was similar in the national net and gross estimates, for both pre-and post-1990 periods. Land under conversion represented 9% of the country's area in pre-and only 2% in post-1990, corresponding to an annual average of 28% of gross and 6% of net annual CO 2 estimates. Among the choices of datasets tested, the reference dataset provided the most conservative estimates of the CO 2 inventory. Other datasets generally overestimated annual LULUCF sink and its main contributor forestland, as well as the emissions or removals from land conversion. Compared to pre-1990, when annual sink was rather low, land abandonment and moderating management in the post-1990 period has led to an increase of C stock in all pools, showing the relevance of political changes on land's CO 2 emissions/removals. Inconsistency within available land datasets impairs more accurate estimation of national GHG inventory. The development of an improved land use assessment system around National Forest Inventory is therefore suggested as a solution to implement consistent land definitions and to accurately estimate their areas in time.

“…This was necessary to realise the ambitious Dutch planning aims (Tan et al, 2009). Finally, active land policy was financially profitable due to the value increase that occurs after land is developed and zoned from agricultural to urban land use (Needham, 1997;Van der Krabben and Jacobs, 2013). The profits that were made during land development were used to realise unprofitable public goals such as public space, public facilities or urban renewal (Buitelaar, 2010).…”
