COVID-19, Regulatory Rollback and the ‘Green Recovery’: Indigenous Peoples Raise Their Voices
As COVID-19 has hobbled governments around the world, environmental protections have diminished or disappeared altogether, leaving the door wide open for abuse, corruption, land grabs. Indigenous peoples and their territories are prime targets to pillage during this vulnerable period.
COVID-19, Biodiversity and Climate Change: Indigenous Peoples Defining the Path Forward
Indigenous Peoples and local communities manage more than half of the world´s land. These biodiverse ancestral lands are vital to the people who steward them and the planet we all share. But governments only recognize indigenous and community legal ownership of 10 percent of the world´s lands. Secure tenure is essential for safeguarding the existing forests against external forces. This is specifically true for forests managed by Indigenous Peoples, where much of the world’s carbon is stored.
COVID-19 and Public Health: Indigenous Peoples on the Front Line
Wednesday, September 2nd, 9:00 AM-10:30 AM EST (3:00 PM – 4:30 PM CEST)
Three-quarters of emerging infectious diseases are zoonoses, meaning they can be transmitted from animals to humans, with Ebola, SARS, MERS and now COVID-19 being examples. Scientists are warning that deforestation, industrial agriculture, illegal wildlife trade, climate change and other types of environmental degradation increase the risk of future pandemics.
LandVoc Community of Experts
LandVoc is a collaborative effort. On a voluntary basis, more than a dozen experts in the land sector are involved in the development of the Linked Land Governance Thesaurus. While the editing of LandVoc is carried out by the LandPortal team, the knowledge held by the LandVoc Community of Experts is invaluable, particularly in terms of providing technical guidance. More specifically, the experts contribute by:
- Suggesting new concepts and translations;
- Suggesting new or improved definitions for concepts;
- Suggesting alignments to other concept schemes;
- Providing expert advice on land governance concepts where needed;
- Help to standardize the classification of content on land-related information;
- Support in the promotion, uptake and use of LandVoc, including advising on outreach activities and tools.
The Community of Experts exchanges on a regular basis. If you feel that you can contribute with your specific expertise, please contact hello@landportal.info.
