Gobernanza de la Tierra Inclusiva y Administración de la Tierra Adecuada a los Propósitos: ¿Los propósitos de quién?

19 Septiembre 2024
La administración de la tierra es una poderosa herramienta para el desarrollo equitativo, pero su forma y su implementación son cruciales para hacer realidad este potencial. Este seminario web explorará cómo un enfoque holístico y centrado en las personas puede transformar la Administración de la Tierra Adecuada a los Propósitos (FFPLA por sus siglas en inglés) y garantizar que la administración de la tierra sirva realmente a las necesidades de las comunidades. Al dar prioridad a las voces de la población local, en particular de las mujeres, los jóvenes y los grupos marginados, podemos crear sistemas de administración de tierras que no sólo sean eficientes, sino también justos e inclusivos.

Después de la COP27: Reflexión sobre las promesas de los donantes a los guardabosques

01 Diciembre 2022

This final webinar of the Land Dialogues 2022 series, will take place  after the UN Climate Change Conference COP 27 (6 – 18 November, Sharm El-Sheik). With a historic 1.7 billion dollar pledge having been made at last year’s COP26 by the Forest Tenure Funders Group to advance Indigenous Peoples’ and Local Communities’ tenure rights and their forest guardianship, it is important that we discuss  challenges and opportunities in the context of these important advancements. The  “Post COP27: Reflecting on Donor Promises to Forest Guardians” webinar will serve as a platform to reflect on progress made, what is falling short and if the 1.7 billion dollar pledge made during COP26 was reflected during COP27.
