Case Studies on Land Value Capture Implementation to Support Climate Adaptation and Disaster Risk Management

More people are realizing that climate adaptation and disaster risk reduction have a positive effect on land values, raising interest in using land value capture (LVC) tools to finance such activities, which include investments in hard infrastructure such as seawalls and levees; nature-based solutions including green stormwater infrastructure and wetland restoration; land use and zoning regulations that limit new development in high-risk areas; and resilient building codes and technologies. However, documented cases of their practical use are rare.

The Lincoln Institute of Land Policy invites proposals for case studies that document the implementation of LVC instruments that advance climate adaptation or disaster risk management globally. Through this request for proposals (RFP), we aim to chronicle the experiences of—and learn from—places around the world that have used LVC instruments in innovative ways to reduce risk from climate impacts and other disasters. The Lincoln Institute will publish exceptional case studies as working papers.

The deadline to submit a proposal is December 19, 2025.
