* Biofuel policies: Partly as an autonomous process under high oil prices but mainly driven by biofuel policies, the proportion of biofuels (so far, only first generation) in the transport sector is projected to increase ([[Banse et al., 2008]]). The model can be used to estimate direct and indirect land-use change and associated emissions. | * Biofuel policies: Partly as an autonomous process under high oil prices but mainly driven by biofuel policies, the proportion of biofuels (so far, only first generation) in the transport sector is projected to increase ([[Banse et al., 2008]]).

* REDD policies: Forest protection leads to a reduction in CO<sub>2</sub> emissions from land-use change. The related opportunity costs can be used to estimate cost curves for the emission abatement that results from REDD policies ([[Overmars et al., | * REDD policies: Forest protection leads to a reduction in CO<sub>2</sub> emissions from land-use change.

* Measures to reduce biodiversity loss by increasing protected areas, increasing agricultural productivity, dietary changes, and reducing waste ([[PBL, 2010]]). Several biodiversity options, in a stepwise introduction, affect land and commodity prices as well as land-use change (the figure below). | * Measures to reduce biodiversity loss by increasing protected areas, increasing agricultural productivity, dietary changes, and reducing waste ([[PBL, 2010]]).
