How our climate goals drive land demand and shape people’s lives
Climate & Land Rights is a joint publication of TMG Research GmbH and the Robert Bosch Stiftung.
Key Messages
Agriculture is the main driver of global land demand, while housing, infrastructure, biodiversity, and climate needs intensify pressure on it. Sustainable land use requires balancing these competing demands.
Some Nationally Determined Contributions over-rely on land to remove emissions, implying a cumulative land demand of about 1 billion hectares.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change emphasizes that limiting global warming to 1.5 °C depends on land-based carbon sequestration, including afforestation, reforestation, and peatland restoration.
