BG 3: Assessing/monitoring land adaptation to climate change
Moderator: Miriam Medel, UNCCD
Description
Drawing upon the submissions made by Parties and non-Party stakeholders, this session focused on key aspects pertaining to the assessment and monitoring of land adaptation to climate change such as mapping of land cover change, assessment of progress made in land management and climate change adaptation at national level, identification of relevant indicators, and the assessment of risks and resilience building in land systems. It facilitated a discussion on assessing, monitoring and evaluation of land-related adaptation actions with multiple stakeholders, and explored experience, good practices and lessons learned.
Format

BG 4: Policy approaches for land management and climate change adaptation
Moderator: Fatou Ndeye Gaye, Gambia
Description
Submissions made by Parties and non-Party stakeholders refer to several policy approaches on land and climate change adaptation, as well as examples of regulatory frameworks, policies and plans developed and implemented by countries to enable or incentivize measures to address land and climate change adaptation. The submissions also indicate that strategies and plans provide a solid basis for delivering significant results in addressing climate change impacts and risks, and helping to align key policy instruments for implementing coordinated measures. The submissions also emphasize the importance of the considerations regarding different groups and communities, land rights and tenure, gender, women and smallholder farmers, civil society, local communities and indigenous peoples.
Building on this input received, the session focused on the experience, good practices and lessons learned in policy approaches for land management and climate change adaptation and how they can further be strengthened. The session also explored interlinkages between land and climate change adaptation policies, including the integration of land-based matters into the NDCs, NAPs and other related instruments.
Format
(a) Initial inputs on experience, good practices and lessons learned in policy approaches for land management and climate change adaptation (15 minutes)
- Elizabeth Cameron, New Zealand
- Drake N. Mubiru, Uganda
- Julia Wolf, FAO
- Jane Mukarugwiza Olwoch, SASSCAL
(b) Interactive discussion (30 minutes)
- What are the opportunities and challenges for the considerations regarding different groups, communities and policy issues across land management and climate change adaptation actions?
- What actions are needed to leverage these opportunities and address the challenges and gaps to strengthen policy approaches for land management and climate change adaptation?

9. ENHANCING ACTION ON LAND AND CLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATION – EXPECTATIONS FROM THE DIALOGUE
Moderator: SBSTA Vice Chair / Rapporteur
Discussions covered two topics:
a) Existing processes under the UNFCCC: To consider how the existing work and processes, including constituted bodies, under the Convention and the Paris Agreement could facilitate or enhance action on land and climate change adaptation related matters. Discussions also considered possible gaps and the ways to address them. Relevant existing processes cited in the submissions include: NAPs, NWP, KJWA, WIM, Marrakech Partnership for Global Climate Action, Gender Action Plan, LCIPP. Constituted bodies working on climate change adaptation are: AC, LEG, WIM Excom.
b) Linkages with the SDGs and other international frameworks and processes: To consider how other international frameworks and processes can be leveraged or take more actions to raise ambition to land and climate change adaptation. Examples cited in the submissions include the SDGs, Sendai Framework, CBD, UNCCD, Fifth session of the 2021 United Nations Environment Assembly, 2021 Food Systems Summit, United Nations Strategic Plan for Forests and its Global Forest Goals, United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration.
