The first casualty of any crisis – from Covid-19 to Climate change – are the poor and marginalized. Beyond first response, we need to radically reimagine our cities, reshape our communities for resilience and ready our at-risk populations for the future.

Lands and forests managed by indigenous people and local communities have lower deforesta- tion rates, a higher carbon storage potential and a higher biodiversity than other lands, including protected areas.

Submissions Accepted for Presentation at the 2020 Conference on Land and Poverty

Welcome to the 21st Annual World Bank Conference on Land and Poverty! This year’s conference theme will be: Institutions for Equity & Resilience.

Data use across the land sector remains limited by a lack of openness, limited clarity about responsible data sharing, and disconnected data silos, serving particular communities and ignoring the needs of others. 

The fourth edition of the India Land and Development Conference took place from 2-4 March, 2020, in New Delhi, India, and provided platforms for enriching and interdisciplinary conversations on how Institutions, Innovations and Information matter for influencing and impacting land governance.
