LAND AND SDGs: Land rights for an inclusive and sustainable world
12 – 15 October
The LAC Land Forum is a unique event organised every year by the International Land Coalition Latin America and the Caribbean to debate and put on the public agenda critical issues related to land governance and land rights of people living on and from land, as well as to share innovative approaches towards this issue.
REGISTRATION IN ZOOM
The LAC Land Forum 2021 will take place, online, from 12-15 October through eight sessions and will focus on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the central role of land rights in achieving them. The challenges to achieving the 2030 Agenda have been further increased by the pandemic, which has hit hardest the most neglected sectors, including people living on and from the land. The pandemic also highlighted the need to underpin processes of change towards a more sustainable relationship with the planet, where the land rights of those who are its primary custodians are also central.
