Purpose. The purpose of the article is to investigate the interaction of climate change with land use to properly understand the consequences and make management decisions, taking into account all the risks and opportunities to ensure non-extensive use and long-term conservation of land resources for future generations. Methodology / approach. The methodological approach involves studying the practice of land use management by analyzing integrated indicators: vulnerability of land use to climate change (responding for climate change prevention) and assessing the impact of climate change on land use (adaptation to climate change) the basis for the calculation of which were quantitative and qualitative indicators for the period 2000-2020. Results. It is established that the existing land management system in Ukraine in accordance with the policy of international organizations and the Sustainable Development Agenda until 2030 requires consideration of new technologies and practices in combating climate change and its consequences based on national conditions and priorities. Studies of the effectiveness of management measures in the field of land use showed that in the period 2000-2009, responding measures for climate change prevention were mostly targeted, and in 2010-2020 acquired signs of systemicity, while for the entire study period the effectiveness of adaptation measures underwent minor changes. At the same time, having positive dynamics, but different trends in the period from 2012 to 2014, measures to respond and adapt to climate challenges equalized in effectiveness. It is found that after 2014, more efforts, financial resources and means have begun to be spent on combating the consequences than on measures to adapt to climate change. This means that the current land management system needs immediate transformation. After all, it is impossible to allow any extreme phenomena to jeopardize the food security of the state. The effectiveness of management activities should be not only in a timely response, but first of all in trying to be proactive reducing vulnerability and increasing the resilience of land use to climate change. Originality / scientific novelty. This is the first comparative analysis of the effectiveness of land management measures regarding the interaction of climate change with land use according to indicators in dynamics. The need to increase the adaptive capacity to reduce potential losses in land use in the future is substantiated. Practical value / implications. The results of the study can serve as a basis for modernization of existing land use projects and improvement of ways to manage them on the basis of low-carbon development to ensure food security of the population of Ukraine in the context of climate change.
