After #COP17 last month, we ask what responsible investment in #rangelands looks like. And:
🌱 Does #securetenure = secure access?
🐄 Can #displacement be reversed?
🤝 What is #meaningfulparticipation?
⚖️ Can we stop #conflicts from escalating?

🌬️ As Ukraine’s #WindEnergy sector expands, what happens when #RenewableEnergy meets local realities? Our partner @ecodiya visited two #WindFarms in Odesa to hear from communities and explore the opportunities and potential risks. 🔎 bit.ly/4gUTt65
A new legal debate may conclude that #AgrarianReform in the Philippines has reached an endpoint, but its objectives remain unfinished. So if the government takes the position that this legal framework has ceased to operate, how does it plan to replace it?👉bit.ly/3UpML0A
Last week at #UNCCD #COP17, our partner @RECONCILE1999 highlighted how large-scale land acquisitions affect #rangelands. The message is clear: #greeninvestment must go hand-in-hand with secure tenure, genuine consultation, fair compensation & effective conflict resolution.

Merging spatial data from the Land Matrix (@Land_Matrix) with geo-referenced Afrobarometer (@afrobarometer) surveys across 13 African democracies (2002-2018), I found that operational foreign land deals significantly reduce democratic satisfaction among nearby citizens.

#CarbonMarkets are again being promoted as a crucial tool for #climatemitigation & #sustainabledevelopment, but are the same governance failures, land conflicts & social injustices marking earlier mechanisms just being reproduced under new labels? bit.ly/4uHWbkp #SB64
📢 Join us w/ @AsianFarmers on 15 June at #SB64 in Bonn for a discussion on #grassroots perspectives on #CarbonMarkets. We'll explore #landtenure challenges, overlooked customary and informal rights, community-led documentation, and lessons from the proposed Botolan #WindFarm🌱👨🌾

How are #ParisAgreement #Article6 projects implemented on the ground? Who bears their social & enviro costs? We'll share data on this next week at #SB64 showing how many are linked with conflicts & limited consultation with local communities. Explore🔎 landmatrix.org

Our partner @ecodiya recently demonstrated how to use our data to monitor foreign #landinvestments & #landconcentration in #EasternEurope to drive transparency & inform #LandGovernance at a guest lecture at the National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of #Ukraine.
Launched yesterday at #ICARRD20, this new @FAO report explains why #landdata is critical for secure #landtenure, livelihoods, #foodsecurity, equality and #landrights. Co-published by our partners CIRAD and ILC, with contributions by the Land Matrix 👀 bit.ly/40wIg3W
