Poor Land Management and its Impacts on Climate Change

Abstract

The poor land management practices exacerbate climate change. The study elucidates the intricate relationships between deforestation, soil degradation, and their repercussions on climate patterns. The findings underscore the critical need for integrated land-use policies, afforestation initiatives, sustainable agricultural practices, community empowerment, and policy reforms to mitigate these adverse effects and foster a more resilient environment. The importance of land management in addressing climate change and mitigating its effects, which is the primary source of livelihood in developing countries. In this paper, we explore the basic concepts and principles of sustainable land management to combat climate change. A major focus is to provide an overview of the most important problems that the world faces with land-related, environmental, and climate change issues. However, the poor management of land is a silent crisis that permeates multiple aspects of our lives. This article sheds light on the critical importance of responsible land management and the far-reaching consequences of neglecting this vital resource. To ensure the success of this study, a variety of sources were used. These included books, journals, and special reports (UNFCCC, FAO, IPCC, IFG, and Land Portal special reports on sustainable land management and climate change). We used research-related tools like Arc GIS and QGIS to determine which land is most vulnerable and to find solutions for managing it and changing it into sustainable land.
