This policy demands stringent traceability and reporting on deforestation risks associated with seven key globally traded commodities based on remote sensing. With a focus on coffee, this paper synthesizes insights from survey results, interviews, and engagement with operators placing coffee on the EU market, and an examination of remote-sensing solutions. The paper articulates the industry's preparedness for EUDR compliance and discusses the way forward. The paper also highlights persistent challenges to accurately mapping tree-crop commodities and agroforestry systems at a global scale, along with the accompanying risk of falsely detecting deforestation related to coffee grown under such systems. This is particularly the case for smallholder-based production and poses a consequent risk of operators abandoning such regions. The results also show that the operators currently have insufficient capabilities for processing remote-sensing data to demonstrate or verify that their product is not sourced from deforested areas. Successful implementation of the EUDR requires solutions that are accessible to the operators and that build community- and operator-level capacity in Remote Sensing and georeferencing. The Terra-i + initiative offers a promising solution that can be tailored to the coffee sector and showcases successful calibration and accurate mapping outcomes. However, it is important to strike an appropriate balance between global expediency and local precision. The paper proposes a standardized bottom-up approach, where global standards are defined collaboratively, yet implementation remains locally led, mitigating risks of misclassification, and ensuring the inclusion of vulnerable smallholder producers.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17933,"journal":{"name":"Land Use Policy","volume":"164 ","pages":"Article 107965"},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146095675","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study evaluates the justice-related consequences of climate-driven land transitions in Ghana, drawing on case studies of a forest conservation program and a solar energy project in different customary settings. Employing a qualitative approach, the study applies a three-lens framework of procedural, distributive, and recognitional justice to assess how customary tenure mediates outcomes. Customary landowners (primarily chiefs/traditional leaders) remain central to land allocation. Still, decision-making was largely symbolic, and benefit-sharing lacked transparency, raising concerns about elite capture and unfair outcomes. The study’s contributions are twofold. First, it brings recognitional justice to the forefront and demonstrates how women, youth, herders, and migrants are not only excluded procedurally but also rendered invisible as legitimate actors and knowledge holders. Second, it demonstrates how climate interventions interact with Ghana’s plural land tenure system, with chiefs and custodians of land shaping all three justice dimensions in ways that affect equity and legitimacy. The study concludes that current land governance practices can potentially exacerbate existing inequalities. It is recommended that policy efforts promote inclusive engagement, transparent benefit-sharing mechanisms, and stronger accountability within both customary and formal institutions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17933,"journal":{"name":"Land Use Policy","volume":"164 ","pages":"Article 107945"},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146000531","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Conversely, climate change could result in maximum annual average economic losses of 9.3 billion USD and 6.7 billion USD under RCP4.5 and RCP8.5, respectively. Future land use change has the potential to mitigate or offset the adverse effects of climate change on winter wheat growing areas. Considering the impacts of land tenure on field practices, land restoration, land use transfer, and land fragmentation, the combination of clearer top-level design of land use pattern and more flexible land transfer strategies will enable agricultural land to better withstand the adverse effects of climate change on.
