Special Issue Release: African Journal on Land Policy & Geospatial Sciences (AJLP-GS)

The Network of Excellence on Land Governance in Africa NELGA proudly announces the publication of a special issue of the African Journal on Land Policy & Geospatial Sciences (AJLP-GS), dedicated to “Land Governance and Climate Change”. This edition provides an important platform for sharing innovative research and fostering dialogue on the nexus of land governance and climate resilience across Africa.

Climate change poses significant risks to sustainable development in Africa, where land degradation, deforestation, and urbanisation challenges are intensifying. This special issue addresses key topics, including land use planning for climate adaptation and mitigation, forest-based climate solutions, urban planning for climate-resilient cities, and land tenure systems in the context of climate change. By highlighting these critical areas, the journal aims to inform policies and practices that can help African communities adapt to a rapidly changing environment.

Contributions to this special issue come from leading researchers and practitioners, offering fresh perspectives on ecosystem-based approaches, sustainable land management strategies, and policy frameworks that integrate climate-smart solutions. This edition not only advances academic understanding but also provides actionable insights for policymakers and development practitioners.

Through this special issue, NELGA reaffirms its commitment to advancing land governance research in Africa and promoting sustainable solutions to the continent’s most pressing environmental challenges.
