Climate, Biodiversity, and Land Rights in Africa
Overview
Across Africa, communities are at the forefront of addressing climate change and biodiversity loss. At the same time, large-scale conservation initiatives, renewable energy projects, and climate adaptation measures are reshaping land relations and, in some cases, generating new conflicts.
This webinar will explore lessons emerging from ILC members' research and case studies across the continent. Discussions will examine how communities are responding to climate pressures while defending land rights, strengthening local governance, and promoting sustainable stewardship of natural resources.
Key Topics
- Community stewardship of forests, rangelands, and pastoral systems
- Land conflicts linked to renewable energy investments
- Climate-induced migration and its implications for land governance
- Gender dynamics in climate-related land conflicts
- Rights-based alternatives to exclusionary conservation approaches
Who Should Attend?
Researchers, development practitioners, policymakers, Indigenous Peoples and local community representatives, civil society organizations, and advocates working on land, climate, and biodiversity issues.
