Nowadays when it comes to land, many transitions are ongoing, and many organizations target processes of change to improve livelihoods while defining their target groups. In this roundtable we aimed to critically engage about who is targeted, who is left out and why, and how to deal with non-beneficiaries in the proximity of interventions to make these processes of transition fairer and more inclusive.
This session brought together insights on land governance and climate resilience, with a specific gender focus. Women suffer from lack of access to, decision making over, and use of land. At the same time, climate change disproportionally affects women. Research indicates that ‘gender just land governance’ forms the key to use land in a sustainable, climate-proof way.
Communities in developing countries are increasingly exposed to the effects of climate change. Although they contribute little to greenhouse gas emissions, many communities are at the forefront of climate change and the associated extreme events. They are faced with events that undermine their food security, such as droughts and floods, but also increased pressure on land due to climate-induced migration. In this session, we delved into the nexus of climate change and land governance.
La tierra es un recurso finito, y el acceso a ella es esencial para la subsistencia de las personas y las comunidades. Para garantizar que el acceso a la tierra sea seguro y equitativo para todos, las Naciones Unidas han establecido el Objetivo de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) 1.4.2, que mide la seguridad de la tenencia de la tierra de las personas, y el ODS 5.a.1, que mide la seguridad de la tenencia de la tierra agrícola desde una perspectiva de género.
La terre est une ressource limitée, et son accès est essentiel pour les moyens de subsistance des individus et des communautés. Pour que l'accès à la terre soit sûr et équitable pour tous, les Nations unies ont fixé l'objectif de développement durable (ODD) 1.4.2, qui mesure la sécurité tenure foncière des individus, et l'ODD 5.a.1, qui mesure la sécurité tenure sur les terres agricoles dans une perspective de genre.

Aujourd'hui, je suis à bord du navire Arctic Sunrise de Greenpeace, alors que nous confrontons la compagnie de combustibles fossiles, Shell, pour son rôle dans la dévastation du climat dans le monde entier - tout en ne payant rien pour cette destruction. C'est maintenant une tendance presque partout dans le monde, le combustible fossile et l'extraction du pétrole deviennent la nouvelle tendance et un véritable trésor, pour quelques élus. Il est vrai que les gouvernements ont besoin d'argent, et il semble plus facile et plus rapide pour eux de l'avoir grâce à l'exploitation des combustibles fossiles.
Today, I am on board the Greenpeace Arctic Sunrise ship, as we confront the fossil fuel company, Shell, for its role in causing climate devastation around the world - while paying nothing for this destruction. It is now a trend almost everywhere in the world, fossil fuel and oil extraction are becoming the new trend and a real treasure, to a chosen few. True, governments do need money, and it seems easier and quicker for them to have it through the exploitation of fossil fuels.
L'industrie extractive ougandaise connaît une croissance exponentielle et attire les sociétés minières étrangères et nationales. Mais trop souvent, les communautés riches en minéraux n'en profitent pas. Ici, Kevin Bakulumpagi d'ANARDE, Ouganda, discute de la manière dont les accords de développement communautaire peuvent garantir que les communautés affectées bénéficient des opérations minières et qu'elles sont engagées de manière significative dans les accords réglementant les activités minières.
Uganda’s extractives industry is growing exponentially and attracting both foreign and domestic mining companies. But too often, mineral-rich communities fail to benefit. Here, Kevin Bakulumpagi of ANARDE, Uganda discusses how Community Development Agreements can ensure affected communities both benefit from mining operations and are meaningfully engaged in agreements regulating mining activities
Les zones humides font partie des ressources naturelles les plus importantes de l'Ouganda. Elles protègent les ressources en eau du pays et sont importantes pour le maintien de la productivité agricole et des moyens de subsistance ruraux, en particulier dans les régions où les précipitations sont faibles ou imprévisibles, où il y a pénurie de terres ou lorsque les terres environnantes ont un faible potentiel pour l'agriculture.
