Inclusive Land Governance and Fit-for-Purpose Land Administration: Whose Purpose?
Land administration is a powerful tool for equitable development, but its form and the way it is implemented are crucial for realizing this potential. This webinar will explore how a people-centered and holistic approach can revolutionize Fit-for-Purpose Land Administration (FFPLA) and ensure that land administration truly serves the needs of communities. By prioritizing the voices of local people, particularly women, youth, and marginalized groups, we can create land administration systems that are not only efficient but also just and inclusive.

Gender and Biodiversity : How Indigenous and Local Community Women Safeguard Nature
Indigenous women’s knowledge is rooted in ancestral understanding of the natural world and the accumulation of observations of local phenomena. The most significant aspect of Indigenous women holding and preserving these traditional knowledge is their holistic approach, which encompasses a wide range of domains beyond mere specialization. They possess an intricate understanding of various species, considering their nutritional value, medicinal properties, and ecological roles. This knowledge, passed down through generations, not only enriches their communities but has been crucial for western science. Indigenous women's insights have often informed Western understandings, leading to the development of medicines and a deeper understanding of climate phenomena such as droughts, floods, and biodiversity migration.
Earth Observations for Humanitarian Applications
NASA’s Applied Remote Sensing Training Program (ARSET) has opened a new open, online webinar series: Earth Observations for Humanitarian Applications. Refugees, internally displaced people (IDPs), and other displaced populations are made more vulnerable to climate change impacts due to their socio-political marginalization. This three-part, intermediate training presents concrete strategies for mapping localized climate conditions with risks faced by refugee and IDP communities around the world.
The training will focus on flood risk assessments and specific challenges for assessing flood risk in refugee and IDP camps; gauging long-term heat stress in refugee camps and the challenges with decision making surrounding heat risk; and monitoring drought effects on agricultural landscapes in refugee settings using Earth observations (EO) to explore the correlations between anomalies in crop productivity and weather-based factors
