Land, Climate, and Biodiversity in Latin America and the Caribbean
Overview
Responses to the climate and environmental crises are urgent, but they also open up contested spaces around who has a voice over land governance and whose narratives are recognised.
Drawing on regional cases from ILC cross-regional analysis of the theme, this regional webinar will explore impacts on communities from non participatory nature protection initiatives, and local communities’ approaches to forest restoration under climate pressure.
Key Topics
- Community responses to biodiversity and conservation policies
- Land conflicts associated with climate mitigation initiatives
- Territorial governance and collective stewardship
- Gender perspectives on environmental justice and land rights
- Lessons from grassroots climate resilience initiatives
Who Should Attend?
Community organisations, Indigenous Peoples' organisations, researchers, government representatives, development partners, and environmental justice advocates.
