Abstract: Comprehensive land consolidation is a national spatial governance tool that practices the concept of a living community of mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes, and grasses. It can directly connect with the construction of rural climate adaptation capacity. However, few studies have been conducted from this perspective. Using literature review, theoretical analysis, and inductive deduction methods, this article attempts to explore the integration of comprehensive land consolidation and rural adaptation to climate change, as well as systematically explain the impact path and evaluation framework of comprehensive land consolidation on rural climate change adaptation. It will help to better understand the rich connotations of comprehensive land consolidation and assist in sustainable rural development. The main research findings are as follows: (1) In the practical process, comprehensive land consolidation has formed a linkage system of "planning, consolidation, and operation", which has the characteristics of multi-functionality and spatial constructions, enabling it to be embedded in the cultivation system of rural adaptation capacity to climate change. It can develop into a cross-departmental spatial governance tool in responding to natural disaster risks from the perspective of rural adaptation to climate change. (2) The comprehensive land consolidation and rural adaptation to climate change forms an interactive relationship named Tool-Field-Habit. The comprehensive land consolidation tool affects the rural climate adaptability through the chain of "climate adaptation and shaping of rural spatial field and the formation of climate adaptation habits of multiple subjects", specifically forming a differentiated impact path for the rural agricultural management system, the rural human settlements system and the rural ecosystem. (3) A framework for assessing the impact of comprehensive land remediation on rural climate change adaptation, with "resilience potential" as the core, has been established. Among them, rural climate resilience assessment is the foundation, and the difference between rural climate resilience before and after remediation is the impact potential. The study has opened up a new theoretical research perspective for understanding the relationships and impact paths between comprehensive land consolidation and rural climate change adaptation, and can provide theoretical reference for promoting sustainable development in rural areas under the background of climate change adaptation.
