Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The combined forces of climate change, globalization, and urbanization are predicted to increase major disruptions and greater loss of life also property across the globe in the foreseeable future. At the same time, there is mounting evidence showing the linkage between land development and climate change. Better land development and management strategies could help communities to respond to extreme events and reduce future risk by providing guidance for development and/or redevelopment in current and forecasted vulnerable areas to increase their resilience. Apart from that, land development strategies like land value capture could be used to create new opportunities in making investments to improve adaptation and ecosystem services that at the same time could improve opportunities for economic development. However, there is also some evidence that shows how land development had exacerbated inequalities across diverse social, economic and environmental conditions. Hence, it is important to review what has and has not worked in planning, implementing, and financing the land development process that delivers measurable outcomes for the local people that depend on them.
This special issue is intended to provide an understanding of influences of climate change on land uses and values, including the techniques that can be used to assess those influences as well as the key policy tools related to land development and investment strategies that can effectively and efficiently help the most vulnerable communities from the impact of climate change.
We, therefore, invite contributions covering, for example, the following topics:
- Lessons learned from different countries showing the best and/or bad practices of land management and development and their linkage to climate change.
- Innovative approaches for land management and development strategies to support climate change adaptation;
- New tools and technologies to support multi-stakeholder planning and/or collaborative management approach in land management and development processes to support climate change adaptation.
