Land registers and cadastres crucial in fighting climate change impacts.
Land registers and cadastres play a crucial role in helping us deal with climate change. By analyzing how we use land and forests, we can reduce carbon emissions and store more carbon. For example, managing land ownership and use is key for large-scale biofuel production. The market for carbon credits is also growing, which can help reduce emissions. To make sure our land policies help fight climate change, we need to include goals for climate resilience. Land registers and cadastres should expand their roles to support these goals.
