Capacity gaps for land-based mitigation technologies and practices

A research paper by the Stockholm Environment Institute identifying the primary capacity gaps hindering the adoption and scaling of land-based mitigation technologies (LMTs) across five global regions.

• The study identified 'understanding', 'awareness', and 'economic/finance' as the primary capacity gaps affecting the adoption and scaling of land-based mitigation technologies (LMTs) across Latin America, Europe, North America, sub-Saharan Africa, and Southeast Asia.
• The authors suggest that addressing knowledge and understanding gaps should be the initial priority to increase the attractiveness of LMTs to stakeholders.
• To support LMT adoption, the paper recommends that policymakers develop regulatory frameworks and support policies that provide a level playing field compared to energy sector mitigation. Additional strategies include market building, utilizing carbon markets, creating bottom-up plans with local and Indigenous Peoples, increasing payments for ecosystem services, and integrating traditional knowledge.
