Why should land stakeholders care about land data?
From an administrative standpoint, and crucially for my core research group focused on informatics and communities, land stakeholders should value data for its role in supporting planning and identifying development priorities for different communities.

Why should land stakeholders care about the data that you work with in Senegal?
Spatial planning, my field of expertise, is intrinsically linked to land management. Planning decisions directly influence land use, value, and stewardship, while conversely, land dynamics can impact land-use strategies.

Why should land stakeholders care about the data that you work with in Liberia?
Let's bring together everyone concerned about faulty data or working in Liberia, as this information is crucial. For instance, data on land ownership is essential for agriculture to thrive, as it requires secure land titles. We need to provide secure land titles to our communities to boost socioeconomic development and support sustainable actions.

I am the Assistant Director for Survey and Mapping at the Liberia Land Authority. Our institution is a public entity responsible for all land-related activities in Liberia. In my role, I manage all surveys for government institutions and functions, oversee geodetic and spatial planning for the country's land authority, contribute to maintaining spatial and geo-databases, and help to establish the connection between spatial information, climate change, and land use in Liberia.

Land governance and the politics of fair transitions: Deepening the search for social justice
The starting point for the Conference and Summit was the recognition that ongoing transitions in the name of climate change and clean energy are deeply unfair in multiple ways. Climate policies and so-called green investments place huge burdens on people and spaces in the Global South as well as on areas inhabited by marginalized populations in countries of the Global North. Their rights are put under pressure, safeguards are lacking or not enforced, and the room to defend their lands, forests, pastures, and territories is constrained.
