The objective of this book is to show that sustained investment in sustainable land management (SLM) practices is good business for adaptation to and mitigation of climate change. SLM is local, and efforts to adapt to climate change must also be local and site-specific to be successful. Hence the report is aimed at highlighting SLM's potential contribution to climate change adaptation and mitigation in developing countries. The report demonstrates that the need to scale up SLM investments is good not only for land, but for climate action as well. It further synthesizes the SLM-related adaptation and mitigation win-wins while noting the crucial on-the-ground operational trade-offs.
