A global review of land tenure, climate vulnerability and adaptive capacity

David Mitchell, Darryn Mcevoy, Danilo Antonio

This global research project seeks to investigate the interrelationships between land tenure, climate vulnerability and adaptive capacity. Drawing on a comprehensive literature review on how land tenure relates to natural disasters, climate change, food security and displacement the objective is to then focus on the aspects of climate vulnerability and adaptive capacity. Other methods include the development of 5 country case studies by local experts (the Philippines, Solomon Islands, , Uganda, Syria and Trinidad and Tobago), the establishment of a reference group of experts, peer review and validation at workshops. This paper presents the preliminary findings of this review. The final outcome will be a global report on the relationships between land tenure, climate vulnerability and adaptive capacity, and the land tools that can be best applied to address the issues raised.
