Green Livelihoods Alliance 2 Ffjf

General

The ‘Forests for a Just Future’ programme of the Green Livelihoods Alliance (GLA) aims to ensure that tropical forests and forest landscapes are sustainably and inclusively governed to mitigate and adapt to climate change, fulfil human rights and safeguard local livelihoods. In twelve countries in South America, Africa and Asia, as well internationally, we will work with Civil Society Organisations (CSOs), IPLCs and social movements to increase the participation of IPLCs in policy and decision-making regarding land rights and forest governance and strengthen lobby and advocacy to hold governments and agro-commodity, extractives, energy and infrastructure industries accountable for deforestation and human rights violations. In order to do this work effectively, it is of crucial importance that the operational space and security of IPLC leaders, CSO activists, women’s rights and environmental and human rights defenders (EHRDs) is ensured, which is therefore another essential element of our proposed programme.
