This discussion paper attempts to frame a definition of a ‘sustainable land use’ in a pragmatic way, contributing to the concept of sustainable land use governance currently developed in the GLOBALANDS project. The paper starts with a short overview on prevalent sustainability theories, outlining the conflict between a strong and a weak concept of sustainability and explaining the role of “natural capital” and “reproduction” in the context of land use. Concepts on sustainable land use are then presented and discussed in the context of their applicability for the purpose of a wider governance framework on sustainable land use. The paper attempts to reveal whether these concepts could be subordinated either under the strong or weak sustainability concept. The paper concludes with a discussion around the key components of sustainable land use at a global scale and offers a brief definition for further discussion.
