Working with existing cases, among others, provides a clearer picture of possible negative impacts of specific investments and best practice on how these negative impacts can be prevented and limited.

Land Rights Now is an international alliance campaign to secure indigenous and community land rights everywhere. We do this by developing local to global campaigns that engage the public - raising awareness of the link between secure land rights, climatechange and food systems - and mobilizing them to exercise pressure on Governments to secure collective land rights. The initiative does not create new campaigns but amplifies the ongoing strategic actions of local communities to increase impact and strengthen global and national collaboration to secure collective land rights. Land Rights Now was conceived as a campaign project with a clear timeframe from 2016-2020. The three co-convening organizations recognize the important added value of Land Rights Now and have confirmed their interest in the campaign continuing beyond 2020 - building on the lessons learnt as well as the alliances and support base built up over the past five years. In 2020, the specific objectives are: 1) Preparing the new phase of LandRightsNow: convene a structured conversation with key partners to think collectively about the this first phase of the campaign - what worked, what did not - and strategize on scenarios for the future - particularly in light of the corona virus pandemic. 2) Delivering campaigns to advance Indigenous and Community land rights: continue core activity of providing global campaign support to national campaigns, responding to campaign opportunities and requests (implementation of Forest Rights Act in India; land grabs in Uganda; construction of a military baseon collectively managed lands in Montenegro). LandRightsNow will work closely with local and national organizations in a process ofco-creation, which includes an element of capacity strengtheningon campaign strategy, digital tactics, and media. Finally, the LandRightsNow coordination will also lead on one or more global digital actions to advance the relevance of Indigenous and community land rights (tentatively in August) 3. Amplifying the work of co-conveners and participants: # amplifying stories coming from the RRI, ILC and Oxfam, as well as other participants# network to reach a broader and different audience; # issue action alerts around specific cases of land rights defenders at risk because of their peaceful actions or major globally-relevant policy opportunities; # providing visibility to any update on the RRI #baseline#, which also constitutes the underlying data justification for the LandRightsNow campaign.

Land Rights Now is an international campaign to secure indigenous and community land rights. It was launched by the International Land Coalition, Oxfam, and Rights and Resources Initiative, and many others in in March 2016 with the target of doubling the amount of land recognized as owned and controlled by Indigenous People and local communities by 2020 . The campaign contributed to a wider global call to action to secure indigenous and community land rights, which resulted in various local-to-global initiatives. Since then, more than 800 organizations have endorsed the target of the campaign, and over 100 have engaged in campaign activities. Campaign #wins#, increasing demand by communities, and a growing supporter base testify the success of the campaign and its enormous potential. To tap into this, the campaign has now entered a Phase III clearly positioning itself as an amplifier of campaigns for organizations that endorsed the target. This proposal contributes to the Land Rights Now coordinator of this next phase for 1 year from 1 June 2019 to 31 May 2020. The Land Rights Now coordinator # a position currently held by Fionuala Cregan and hosted by Oxfam Novib # is a fundamental and strategic position to deliver the alliance plans of the campaigns.
