ABOUT
The Global Land Forum (GLF) is a major international event organised by the International Land Coalition (ILC). It brings together a diverse group of stakeholders—civil society organisations (CSOs), grassroots organisations, governments, researchers, civil society, and the private sector—to discuss and advance people-centred land governance.
Key Features of the GLF:
- Inclusive Participation: Representatives from numerous countries, including Indigenous Peoples, farmers, women, youth, and policymakers.
- Focus on Land Rights: Emphasises securing land rights for the poor and marginalised, especially women and Indigenous communities.
- Knowledge Sharing: A space for sharing experiences, policies, research, and strategies to improve land governance.
- Policy Influence: Aims to influence national and global land-related policies through dialogue and evidence.
- The power shift: Prioritises voices of our constituencies from the ground, highlighting the role of local communities in driving change.
Held every few years in different regions, the GLF is both a celebration of progress and a platform for confronting the challenges that land inequality and insecure tenure continue to pose to justice and sustainable development.
