Land and water policy can shape the built and natural environment to reduce the extent of climate change and help communities and natural systems withstand the impacts of rising temperatures and sea levels. The Lincoln Institute advances land policy as a climate solution and fosters climate justice as a key element of this work.
We seek transformative and systemic change, leveraging land policy and planning practice to reduce energy demand, transition to more sustainable transportation and energy systems, increase community resilience, balance trade-offs, and create thriving, inclusive communities.
