Sustainable Land Management Contribution to Land-based Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation: The report provides scientifically sound practical guidance for selecting SLM practices that help address desertification, land degradation, and drought (DLDD), climate change adaptation and mitigation, and for creating an enabling environment for their large-scale implementation considering local realities. It targets a broad audience from scientists, policy makers, landowners, community stakeholders and enterprises.

Sustainable Land Management for Climate and People Science-Policy brief: This Policy Brief provides scientifically-sound guidance for decision makers to help develop SLM strategies and related policies that promote synergies and address trade-offs between multiple objectives related to DLDD, climate change mitigation and adaptation, and for creating an enabling environment to overcome possible barriers for selection and large-scale implementation of effective SLM practices considering local realities.

GLO Working Paper on Scaling up Sustainable Land Management and Restoration of Degraded Land: To achieve the ambitious goals of alleviating poverty, securing food and water supplies, and protecting the natural resource base, we need to recognize the inter-connectedness of the factors driving land degradation, so that solutions can be taken to scale, transforming management practices for millions of land users. An analysis of the critical barriers and incentives to achieve scaling up suggests that the most appropriate options should be selected through the involvement of stakeholders at all levels, from local to national and international.

GLO Working Paper on Land Tenure and Rights for Improved Land Management and Sustainable Development: This working paper explores how land tenure systems in different ecosystems and bio-cultural regions around the world are linked to land degradation or sustainable land management. It is against this backdrop that five major issues surrounding land tenure, and rights for improved land management and sustainable development, are addressed.
