Special Report on Climate Change and Land

The Special Report on Climate Change and Land, produced by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), examines how land use—such as agriculture, deforestation, and urbanization—impacts climate change and ecosystems. It highlights that land management can both contribute to and help mitigate climate change. The report emphasizes sustainable practices like reforestation, reduced deforestation, and better farming methods to protect biodiversity, absorb carbon dioxide, and ensure food security. Overall, it underscores the critical role land plays in addressing climate challenges and the need for integrated strategies to preserve the environment while supporting human needs.
