El reconocimiento de derechos es crucial para abordar el calentamiento global y el cambio climático
Los pueblos indígenas han tenido durante milenios un historial de gestión sostenible de los paisajes. Sin embargo, las incursiones en sus territorios, a menudo por colonos involucrados en la extracción de recursos naturales o la agricultura, han fracturado sus derechos históricos de tenencia, desmantelando o poniendo en riesgo los medios de vida, la vida silvestre y los ecosistemas.
The 14th community-based adaption event (CBA14) will call on local communities to use their collective power to hold climate decision makers to account.
A run of international political events in 2019 marked key moments for influencing the climate action agenda, including this September’s UN Secretary-General’s climate summit and the UNFCCC conference in Spain (COP25).
I write this blog as our project team embarks on a fifth year of work on women’s land tenure security (WOLTS) with pastoral communities in mining-affected areas of Mongolia and Tanzania. Just before Christmas 2019, we were in Mundarara village in northern Tanzania. Exceptionally heavy rains made getting around much more challenging than usual. Locals travelling on foot had to make wide detours to avoid getting bogged down in waterlogged grazing land, and it took everyone much longer to get to the village primary school for our long-planned training day.
Aujourd'hui, nous sommes heureux de marquer le lancement officiel de PlaceFund, une organisation américaine indépendante à but non lucratif qui se consacre aux problèmes de l'insécurité des droits de propriété, de l'utilisation non durable des terres et du changement climatique. Construit sur une décennie comme l'initiative des droits de propriété au sein du Réseau Omidyar, PlaceFund fonctionnera sous la direction de Peter Rabley et Amy Regas, qui quitteront le Réseau Omidyar pour diriger cette organisation.
Today we are pleased to mark the official launch of PlaceFund, an independent US nonprofit organization focused on addressing issues of insecure property rights, unsustainable land use, and climate change. Built off a decade as the Property Rights initiative at Omidyar Network, PlaceFund will operate under the leadership of Peter Rabley and Amy Regas, who will be leaving Omidyar Network to run this venture, and they will take our shared commitment to property rights and geospatial technology into the new decade.
The Rangelands Initiative of the International Land Coalition (ILC) is drawing attention to rangelands and drylands at the highest levels, in order to find solutions to the challenges faced by local populations that live and work there, and to encourage appropriate investment including in securing land rights and good governance, building resilience to drought and other shocks or stresses, and increasing rangeland productivity.
