Bioenergy: an Earth system approach Map Home #77236

The goal of this map is to identify major opportunities and constraints for bioenergy in the context of Earth system sustainability.

The structure of this interactive map is like a wiki – every aspect is open to further refinement – and anyone can add new issues, positions, arguments and evidence to the map.

The aim is to weave together the key arguments into a rich, transparent, multi-dimensional structure that anyone can explore quickly to gain a broad understanding of the major opportunities and constraints for bioenergy in the context of Earth system sustainability. The map also connects a range of systemically interrelated issues. Through collaborative and iterative community input, every perspective can be represented fairly, succinctly and in full.

So where you spot gaps, or incorrect and/or unchallenged arguments on the map, please help us to fill the gaps and correct and challenge the arguments.
