Climate change-informed land management integrates climate science into decisions about how land is used for agriculture, forestry, conservation, and carbon sequestration. By aligning land-use practices with climate projections and mitigation goals, it supports long-term sustainability and contributes to both local resilience and global climate targets. It aims to reduce and abate greenhouse gas emissions, adapt to changing climatic conditions, and maintain ecological balance in human-managed land systems, such as croplands, pastures, managed forests, drained wetlands, conservation areas, and built environments. It involves both understanding and anticipating climate risks (e.g., extreme weather, temperature shifts, rising CO₂ concentrations) and making proactive decisions that support resilience and mitigation. This means landowners must be aware of likely and worst-case climate scenarios, equipped with knowledge about suitable adaptation and mitigation options, and ideally motivated (e.g., through policy incentives) to contribute to broader climate goals. This concept is increasingly relevant for modelling tools that assess the role of land systems in climate solutions and, subsequently, for evidence-informed policymaking.
