Three tools to unlock finance for land-use mitigation and adaptation

This study addresses how the limited understanding of investments in land use mitigation and adaptation inhibits the design of efficient and effective public interventions. For this reason, governments do not know in many cases how much finance is being channeled to the land-use sector, how it is being delivered, what is being paid for and by whom.

This study has developed three tools that can be used by governments and their partners to: a)Inform the design of land use mitigation and adaptation strategies supported by multilateral and bilateral programs; b)Identify domestic and international financial instruments to redirect public and private finance towards greener land-use practices; and c) Encourage coordination between public instruments across land-use sectors.
