Terra Firma and the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO) are pleased to announce the launch of a new LAND-at-scale project: Scaling Community Land Rights Certification in Municipal Areas of Mozambique. The project started implementation this month (February 2024) in the rural hinterlands of four municipalities in Manica, Sofala and Zambezia provinces.
During the Conference for Land Policy in Africa (CLPA) which took place in Addis Ababa in November 2023, LAND-at-scale organised the side-event ''Climate-Resilient Land Use Planning as a Tool for Addressing Land Degradation''. The LAND-at-scale (LAS) project partners and their government constituencies from Mozambique, Rwanda and Uganda participated in person. The set-up of the session was dynamic with each country first ‘pitching’ how land use planning processes were important in their LAS interventions, and then the government representatives adding to that a perspective from government. In each of the countries, the LAS partners consisting of NGOs and UN organizations, work closely with national or district land use planning officers of the government in carrying out project activities.
As part of a scoping study titled Land Governance for Climate Resilience: A review and case studies from LAND-at-scale projects headed by Richard Sliuzas, Emeritus Professor, University of Twente, IOM explored how climate plays a role in the UN-led Saameynta Joint Programme in Somalia. In this context, climate change is increasingly recognized as a multiplier of insecurity and fragility, where climate-related sudden and slow-onset disasters are driving people to leave their land and migrate. While migrating allows people to find alternative livelihoods and enhance their climate resilience, it can also be associated with instances of maladaptation to climate change. As such, this case highlights durable solutions in climate-driven urban sprawl in Baidoa.
As part of a scoping study titled Land Governance for Climate Resilience: A review and case studies from LAND-at-scale projects headed by Richard Sliuzas, Emeritus Professor, University of Twente, GLTN dove into the links between climate and land governance in the ‘’Scaling up community-based land registration and land use planning on customary land in Uganda’’ project. This case study highlights experiences from the community-based wetland management planning approach in Butaleja, Uganda, focusing on how the approach is addressing land governance issues and contributing to community climate resilience.
As part of a scoping study titled Land Governance for Climate Resilience: A review and case studies from LAND-at-scale projects headed by Richard Sliuzas, Emeritus Professor, University of Twente, CTV explored the links between climate and land governance in the LAND-at-scale project “Scaling Community Legal Literacy, Land Rights Certification and Climate Resilience in Mozambique”. This case study focusses on experiences from the Búzi District, where Cyclone Idai (March 2019) showed the need for proactive interventions in the land sector aimed at preparing districts and local communities to face and plan for severe climatic phenomena and their impacts, but also the challenges at making this link explicit.
What I learned about land rights from people who don't work in land rights
En un mundo que lucha contra el cambio climático y el desarrollo sostenible, la cuestión de los derechos sobre la tierra adquiere un papel fundamental. La tenencia segura de la tierra no es sólo una cuestión de justicia social; es crucial para alcanzar varios Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible. Los datos de la EC Land Data Partnership, formada por la Coalición Internacional para el Acceso a la Tierra, la Fundación Land Portal, la Iniciativa Land Matrix y Prindex, arrojan luz sobre las complejidades y los retos de los derechos sobre la tierra a nivel global.
¿Es realmente el cambio climático la causa de los conflictos y desplazamientos en el Sahel? Este reportaje explora la historia de los conflictos en la región, la coincidencia con los fenómenos climáticos y una amplia gama de factores institucionales para investigar esta cuestión. Se utilizan como ejemplo los casos de Malí, Burkina Faso y Somalia.
La publicación reciente de la segunda edición de ¿Quiénes poseen la tierra del mundo? ofrece la oportunidad de evaluar el estado mundial del reconocimiento de los derechos a la tierra de los Pueblos Indígenas, Afrodescendientes y comunidades locales. Los datos en el informe cubren 73 países, los cuales en conjunto comprenden el 85% del área terrestre mundial, y proveen un panorama integral de los derechos comunitarios a la tierra, en un momento crítico para la gente y para el planeta.
In September 2023, Nairobi hosted vital climate events within a week, including the inaugural Africa Climate Summit (ACS) from 4th to 6th September. This three-day Summit convened leaders from various sectors to discuss Africa’s stance on global climate change plans, focusing on climate action financing and green growth, resulting in the unanimously adopted Nairobi Declaration. ACS ran alongside Africa Climate Week (ACW), one of four Regional Climate Weeks gathering region-focused contributions ahead of UNFCCC COP 28 in Dubai. Civil society organizations also released the African People’s Climate and Development Declaration and gathered for the Real Africa People’s Climate Summit March on Monday, September 4th.
En el marco de la serie Diálogos de la Tierra, el tercer seminario web de la serie de este año "Financiación Climática en la COP28 : Convertir las Promesas en Acciones" tuvo lugar el 28 de noviembre de 2023. El seminario reunió a algo menos de 200 participantes y contó con la participación de distintos panelistas desde líderes indígenas hasta donantes. La serie está organizada por un consorcio de organizaciones, entre ellas la Fundación Land Portal, la Fundación Thomson Reuters, la Fundación Ford y el Tenure Facility.
En la jornada inaugural de la #COP28, organizamos un seminario web titulado "Aumentando la Resiliencia Climática mediante una Gobernanza de la Tierra Inclusiva", en el que se profundizó en el papel crucial que desempeña una gobernanza de la tierra inclusiva en el aumento de la resiliencia climática.
