Potential Risks to Women’s Land Rights From Climate Actions: Exploring Matrilineal Communities in Colombia, Costa Rica, and Panama
This paper explores ways in which global actions to tackle climate change can potentially undermine women’s land tenure security. While there is greater cognizance of the role of secure land tenure as a critical enabler of global climate goals, climate actions that fail to account for differential tenure systems and gender dynamics risk eroding women’s customary land rights and associated social support systems. The paper recommends ways to balance climate goals with land rights protection.

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.
