What Makes Land Use and Climate Change Programming Deliver Adaptation Benefits?

Published on 7 August 2025

This K4DD Briefing Note provides an overview of where land use and climate change programming, which focuses on governance and supply chains, can deliver adaptation benefits, and where there are risks of maladaptive outcomes for forest-based communities.

This Briefing Note has been prepared in support of a Knowledge for Development and Diplomacy (K4DD) Evidence and Policy Clinic in January 2025 on effective climate adaptation in tropical forest settings, drawing on case studies and learning presented by staff from the (IFU) and other departments across the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office.

The Briefing Note also draws on synthesised evidence from two K4DD rapid evidence reviews (RERs) prepared in advance of the evidence and policy clinic discussions.
