This study outlines three tools which have been developed to help low and middle-income country governments and their partners to identify the changes in public support that can help to drive scaled-up private sector investment in land use mitigation and adaptation.

The report argues that it will be essential to significantly increase finance for green land use activities to mitigate land-use emissions and adapt to the impacts of climate change at the levels required. The tools cover national and international, public and private finance, across a full range of land-use activities. The foci are landscape and land use finance, financial viability-gap analysis, public finance mapping.

Governments and their partners can use the tools identified in this study to inform the design of land use mitigation and adaptation strategies, identify domestic and international financial instruments to redirect public and private finance towards greener land-use practices and encourage coordination between public instruments across land-use sectors.
