The Land Use and Land Cover Change (LUCC) Project is a Programme Element of the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (IGBP) of the International Council of Scientific Unions (ICSU) and the International Human Dimensions Programme on Global Environmental Change (IHDP), of the International Social Science Council (ISSC). This Core Project is an interdisciplinary programme aimed to improve understanding of the land use and land cover change dynamics and their relationships with the global environmental change. From inception the planning and implementation of the project has actively engaged both the physical and social science communities. The LUCC International Project Office (IPO) was started in 1996 at the Institut Cartogfic de Catalunya (ICC), Barcelona, Spain. The Office is financially supported by the Catalan Government. The IPO produces regular newsletters and reports which keep the LUCC researchers and others informed about the developments within the LUCC Project.
