An IPCC Special Report on climate change, desertification, land
degradation, sustainable land management, food security, and
greenhouse gas fluxes in terrestrial ecosystems.
This Special Report on Climate Change and Land1 responds to the Panel decision in 2016 to
prepare three Special Reports2 during the Sixth Assessment cycle, taking account of proposals
from governments and observer organizations3
. This report addresses greenhouse gas (GHG)
fluxes in land-based ecosystems , land use and sustainable land management4 in relation to climate
change adaptation and mitigation, desertification5
, land degradation6 and food security7
. This
report follows the publication of other recent reports, including the IPCC Special Report on Global
Warming of 1.5°C (SR15), the thematic assessment of the Intergovernmental Science Policy
Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) on Land Degradation and Restoration,
the IPBES Global Assessment Report on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services, and the Global
Land Outlook of the UN Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD). This report provides
an updated assessment of the current state of knowledge8 while striving for coherence and
complementarity with other recent reports.
This Summary for Policymakers (SPM) is structured in four parts: A) People, land and climate in
a warming world; B) Adaptation and mitigation response options; C) Enabling response options;
