This discussion paper will be of broad interest to researchers working in the areas of community involvement, climate change and sustainable development. It sets out the views of member bodies of Scottish Environment LINK regarding the land use strategy to be prepared under Section 57 of the Climate Change (Scotland) Act 2009. Section 57 requires Scottish Ministers to produce a land use strategy by 2011 and every five years thereafter. This strategy must set out Ministers? objectives in relation to sustainable land use, and their proposals and policies for meeting those objectives. These objectives, proposals and policies must contribute to achieving Ministers? duties in relation to climate change mitigation and adaptation, and must also contribute to sustainable development.
