Adapting land restoration to a changing climate: accepting what we know and what we don’t

In times of climate change there will be land restoration and navigating uncertainty and planning for adaptation requires new knowledge systems. The emergence of new ecosystems presents a challenge for land restoration; these ecosystems bring with them unknowns that we do not yet know.

This brief presents research linking land restoration and societal adaptation, and offers an example of a practical framework for transformative adaptation. It also proposes some questions that can guide stakeholders in exploring different narratives of change related to adaptation and planning for restoration.
