Land-based mitigation technologies and practices

The authors provide a classification of land-based mitigation technologies and practices (LMTs), identifying afforestation, reforestation, and forest management as having high potential worldwide. While bioenergy with carbon capture and storage and biochar are more viable in higher-income countries due to funding and technology, the broader deployment of LMTs is hindered by insufficient financing and limited implementation knowledge. The text emphasizes that large-scale deployment must account for gender and the rights of Indigenous Peoples and marginalised groups to avoid increasing inequalities.

• Afforestation, reforestation, and forest management are identified as land-based mitigation technologies (LMTs) that possess high potential and wide application across all continents.
• Biochar and bioenergy with carbon capture and storage have greater short-term potential in higher-income countries because of available funding, technology, and low-cost biomass value chains.
• The primary obstacles to the large-scale deployment of LMTs are insufficient financing and limited knowledge regarding their implementation, despite their potential cost-effectiveness in various regions.
• Large-scale LMT deployment risks worsening existing inequalities if the rights of Indigenous Peoples, marginalised groups, and gender considerations are ignored.
