Side event at #AASW8 on mainstreaming land rights of the rural poor in the climate discourse
On 6 June 2023, I moderated a panel discussion on "Mainstreaming land rights of the rural poor in the climate discourse", co-organized by the Global Forum on Agricultural Research and Innovation (GFAR), the Young Professionals for Agricultural Development (YPARD), the Asian NGO Coalition for Agrarian Reform and Rural Development (ANGOC), and the Land Portal Foundation.
The discussion took place as a sid vnt at the 8th Africa Agribusiness and Science Week in Durban, South Africa. Its aim was increasing public understanding of the links between climate change, disasters, and land tenure rights, and bringing land tenure issues in the climate change discourse, listening particularly to the voices of civil society and youth.
