Sustainable land use and resource-related material flows are key areas of future research.With regard to resource efficiency and material flows, IINAS not only considers supply-side issues but also addresses the demand through sustainable consumption research.IINAS has a focus on European and international issues of sustainability, but also carries out work on national and local levels.
