Capacity gaps for land-based mitigation technologies and practices

The research identifies 'understanding', 'awareness', and 'economic/finance' as the primary capacity gaps for land-based mitigation technologies and practices (LMTs) across five global regions. The authors suggest that addressing knowledge and understanding gaps is a critical first step to increase stakeholder attraction to LMTs. To support scaling, the paper recommends that policymakers develop dedicated support policies and regulatory frameworks, build markets, utilize carbon markets, and collaborate with local and Indigenous Peoples using bottom-up implementation plans and traditional knowledge.

• Across Latin America, Europe, North America, sub-Saharan Africa, and Southeast Asia, the most significant capacity gaps for the adoption and scaling of land-based mitigation technologies (LMTs) are related to understanding, awareness, and economics or finance.
• Addressing gaps in knowledge and understanding is recommended as the initial priority to make LMTs more appealing to stakeholders.
• Successful LMT scaling requires a combination of regulatory frameworks that level the playing field against other sectors, market building, the use of carbon markets, ecosystem services payments, and the integration of local and traditional knowledge through bottom-up plans with local and Indigenous Peoples.
