N. Sokolovski" popup.description2 The object of research - ecological and economic aspects of formation of strategic directions in development of low carbon land use in the context of climate change. The purpose of research is to develop ecological and economic bases of formation of strategic directions in development of low carbon land use to strengthen climate resilience. Research methods - abstract-logical, in particular analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction - for theoretical synthesis and formulation of conclusions, definition of research terminology; monographic - for in-depth study of some economic phenomena and processes; graphic - to reflect the research phenomena and processes, to visualize the results; calculation and analytical - during assessment of potential of low carbon land use and environmental-and-economic benefits of strategic agrarian measures to regulate soil carbon mode; economic and statistical - during statistical observation, assessment and economic analysis of data; expert assessments - during estimation of environmental-and-economic efficiency of low carbon measures. The methodological and theoretical basis of the study is the conceptual approach of modern economic theory, agricultural economics, environmental economics, environmental management, ecology, modern works of Ukrainian and foreign scientists and legal documents of Ukraine in this issue. In the process of research, the following scientific methodological approach have been used: system, situational (case-based) and interdisciplinary. This approach's and methods are formed the methodology of our study. As a result of the research in the work resolved an important scientific challenge - substantiating the ecological and economic basis of the formation of strategic directions of development of low carbon land use sustainability as a prerequisite to climate change. This includes: based on the analysis of the current state, problems and the extent of loss of soil organic carbon and their causes we identify strategic objectives and indicators of low carbon land use and basic directions to achieve these goals; the macroeconomic estimate forecast cost to implement these strategic objectives and potential benefits of the implementation of strategic directions of low carbon land use in the agricultural sector of Ukraine are determined. The results of research used during develop the "Concept of land (soil) degradation neutrality in Ukraine" and regional program of soil fertility protection in Kharkiv region. The obtained results are implemented and can be used in the scientific research and in the educational process of universities and institutions. The strategic directions of development of low carbon land use can be used: (i) at the different levels of administration and management of agriculture to make managerial decisions about adaptation of the agricultural land use to climate change, in the activity of scientific institutions and universities; (ii) during implementation of "National action plan for fight with land degradation and desertification", "Strategy of low carbon development of Ukraine 2050". Practical implementation of the results may contribute to the increasing of economic substantiating and efficiency of managerial decisions about development of low carbon land use in the context of adaptation to climate change.
