Dear colleagues,

Today, you receive Issue 20 of our Quarterly Letter. With this issue we would like to draw your attention to interesting news and several new publications that have been produced within the individual regional projects of the Sustainable Land Management programme in the last months. You also find some upcoming events that we believe might be of interest to the research programme.

As we also made an update of our online game LandYOUs please feel free to show your ability to govern a country as sustainable as possible. Have fun!

We hope you will enjoy reading this issue.

Kindest regards,

The GLUES Scientific Coordination Team
