Policies to Secure Land Tenure in Land-Intensive Climate Action

May, 2024
The session examined the policy landscape necessary to secure land tenure in the context of land-intensive climate action, addressing the rising global demand for land driven by renewable energy projects and biological carbon removal commitments. The discussion acknowledged the historical impact of large-scale land acquisitions (LSLAs) in the Global South, which often resulted in adverse socioeconomic consequences and human rights violations, emphasizing the need to avoid similar pitfalls as land demands shift toward climate mitigation efforts.
