World Bank Land Conference: Land Rights and Access for Climate Action

Clear land tenure is fundamental for scaling climate action. Insecure land tenure keeps landholders from investing in climate adaptation and mitigation measures like sustainable land use practices. Unclear or overlapping laws impede access to land for implementing climate and disaster risk management projects. As urbanization accelerates further and climate impacts become more severe, tensions over land will only become more complex. Join this live streamed session to learn more about leading solutions for strengthening land governance to meet climate targets and other sustainable development goals.
