    Abstract

    Between July 2003 and June 2004, several departments of Ghent University (the Centre for Sustainable Development/CDO, the Department of International Public Law, the Department of Plant Production) in collaboration with the NGO Flemish Platform for Sustainable Development (VODO), carried out a research project on ecological debt. The project aimed at clarifying the concept of ecological debt (definition, methodology, frame of reference) and studying its relevance and applicability in Belgian and international policy. For these last subjects the research focused on the fields of energy and climate change, agriculture and food supply, and integration in multilateral environmental agreements.
