Competing Claims is an inter-university research programme studying situations of competition over natural resource access and use, aiming to guide stakeholders in dealing with (potentially conflicting) multiple uses of natural resources. It seeks to develop more equitable management options that reduce rural poverty, reduce conflict, and achieve more sustainable use of natural resources.

Competing Claims on natural resources is an interdisciplinary research programme funded by the International Research & Education Fund (INREF) of Wageningen University in The Netherlands.
