In this session, we explored the linkages between Strategic Environmental Assessment and land governance.

El Salvador, junho de 2018, população protesta contra a privatização da água.

O planeta é um organismo vivo, governado pela lógica de privatização e acúmulo. Para que seja para todos, é preciso governança policêntrica e ecológica. Das luta pela água e terra à criação de hortas comunitárias, há meios para alcançá-la.

A really important report from the International Land Coalition and Oxfam is just out called ‘Uneven Ground: Land Inequality at the Heart of Unequal Societies’, along with 17 supporting papers. Through new analysis it shows that land inequality is even larger than previously thought, and that this has dramatic effects on poor people’s livelihoods, particularly those of women and young people.

Agricultural investment can be key to support economic growth, enhance food security and nutrition and reduce poverty, thereby contributing to the Agenda 2030. Yet, this investment must be responsible to generate sustainable benefits.
