Create Climate-Smart Land Use Planning for Adaptation

Climate change requires land use adaptation, yet planning systems could guide land use decisions that build climate resilience while maintaining productivity. The challenge is developing climate-smart planning that integrates climate projections with land use decisions. Barriers include climate uncertainty, planning complexity, and stakeholder coordination. Without climate-smart planning, land use decisions may increase climate vulnerability while missing opportunities for adaptation. Successful climate planning could build landscape resilience while maintaining productivity, potentially creating landscapes that thrive under changing climate conditions while demonstrating how planning can address climate challenges.
