Background
Austria is a land-locked country located in southern central Europe, between 49°01' and 46°22' N and from 9°32' to 17°10' E, covering part of the eastern Alps and the Danube region. Austria’s total surface area covers 83,858 km2 with a share of 37.5% settlement area. Austria’s GDP reached $428.9 billion and its per capita GDP reached $48,105 in 2020. Austrian exports contribute approximately 52% to GDP (2020). Austria’s total permanent population reached 8.9 million inhabitants in 2020 and nearly one third of all Austrians (2.6 million) live within the metropolitan area of Vienna. Austria is expected to be very vulnerable to climatic change given that its ecosystems in mountainous regions are highly sensitive and approximately 70% of Austria’s surface is situated higher than 500 m above sea level.
Austria can be divided into three climatic zones: the eastern part shows a continental Pannonian climate (mean July temperature >19°C, annual rainfall Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) to the UNFCCC as an EU Member State in 2020, and its Seventh National Communication in 2018.

Global Database on Sustainable Land Management (SLM)
The Global SLM Database contains over 1500 SLM practices from all over the world.
The objective of documenting and assessing SLM practices is to share and spread valuable knowledge in land management, support evidence-based decision-making, and scale up identified good practices, thereby contributing to preventing and reducing land degradation and to restoring degraded land.
