The exclusion of women from inheritance in Jordan. Social pressure, lack of land registration and subdivision, live donations.

Conference Papers & Reports
April, 2025
Jordan

A patriarchal pattern of power dominates both inheritance and property in Jordan. This pattern affects women, but also the youth - which is much less studied. While the inheritance rights of women are formally enshrined in the constitution, in Islamic law (Sharia), female heirs continue to face social pressure to renounce their rights in favor of male heirs. Only one fourth of Jordanian women entitled to property inheritance receive it fully. Elder sons decide of the fate of the father, not always following the Sharia law.

Conference Papers & Reports

Carbon projects often impact lands managed by communities with insecure or informal tenure rights, especially in Africa and Asia, where carbon markets are expanding rapidly. Nearly 80% of land managed by Indigenous Peoples and local communities in these regions lacks formal recognition.

Key Takeaways on Article 6 at COP29

Global

A fully operational Article 6 offers countries a powerful tool to scale up mitigation efforts to achieve their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). If implemented right, Article 6 will help channel much-needed climate finance – both public and private - to developing countries, enabling meaningful investments in mitigation activities.  That said, the process does not end here. While there will be no further Article 6 negotiations until 2028, significant work lies ahead for the Article 6.4 Supervisory Body in 2025.

Land governance and the politics of fair transitions: Deepening the search for social justice

Conference Papers & Reports
September, 2024
Global

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.
