Land & Climate Change

Land use, land tenure, and climate change are closely intertwined. The effects of climate change, manifested in either rapid or slow-onset ways, has altered how land and natural resources are accessed, used, and contested. As a result, global warming also contributes to destabilizing existing land and resource governance institutions and property rights.
