Land

Response to climate change

The sustainable management of land resources, such as soil and water conservation, is crucial to raising living standards and eradicating poverty. The increasing occurrence of extreme weather events such as droughts, floods and hurricanes results in land degradation. This is affecting food supply and the potential for income generation. Our approach to land management is holistic, encompassing all factors from environmental to socioeconomic.

Land administration systems

We aim to provide developing nations with a robust and transparent land administration system. This is essential to a well-functioning nation, especially as the economy grows and investments increase. Our land administration framework includes land legislation, land registration, land valuation/taxation, land use planning, land allocation and land information.

We prioritise the free access to land-related services and information as accurate, up-to-date information about land resources is needed to develop policies, strategies or plans for the sustainable use of land, for attracting foreign investment or the registration of land ownership.
