Local & Youth action

Description

Land rights are a common topic in academic circles–but what does it mean in practice? In this session, we will examine how inequitable land tenure arrangements affect the daily lives of local people and how different communities have approached the issue. We will also cover examples of existing collaborations that ensure landscape rights for everyone.

This session has been made possible through the generous support of the Robert Bosch Foundation
