Incorporating climate considerations into investment assessment processes

Investment assessment processes (IAPs) can help ensure land-based investments support rather than undermine governments’ climate goals. 

IAPs are valuable tools for investment coordination and oversight but are yet to realise their potential in supporting governments to meet their climate goals. Governments have an important role to play in improving these processes to address climate change.

This toolkit is part of the ALIGN Governance Flashes, a series of short guidance notes designed to alert government officials of critical land-based investment governance considerations and possible responses to issues that might be falling through the cracks, leading to conflicts and poor outcomes.
