As part of a scoping study titled Land Governance for Climate Resilience: A review and case studies from LAND-at-scale projects headed by Richard Sliuzas, Emeritus Professor, University of Twente, IOM explored how climate plays a role in the UN-led Saameynta Joint Programme in Somalia. In this context, climate change is increasingly recognized as a multiplier of insecurity and fragility, where climate-related sudden and slow-onset disasters are driving people to leave their land and migrate. While migrating allows people to find alternative livelihoods and enhance their climate resilience, it can also be associated with instances of maladaptation to climate change. As such, this case highlights durable solutions in climate-driven urban sprawl in Baidoa.  

As part of a scoping study titled Land Governance for Climate Resilience: A review and case studies from LAND-at-scale projects headed by Richard Sliuzas, Emeritus Professor, University of Twente, GLTN dove into the links between climate and land governance in the ‘’Scaling up community-based land registration and land use planning on customary land in Uganda’’ project. This case study highlights experiences from the community-based wetland management planning approach in Butaleja, Uganda, focusing on how the approach is addressing land governance issues and contributing to community climate resilience.

No dia de abertura da #COP28, organizamos um webinário, "Building Climate Resilience through Inclusive Land Governance" (Criando resiliência climática por meio da governança inclusiva da terra), que se aprofundou no papel crucial que a governança inclusiva desempenha na criação da resiliência climática.

Burundi has the world’s highest hunger score and around 45 percent of the population is affected by food insecurity. The country copes with increasing scarcity of land as a result of increasing population size, returnees and IDPs and climate change. With the majority of Burundians depending on agriculture for their food and livelihoods, land scarcity makes this reliance on agriculture precarious. This pressure on land causes elevated levels of land disputes with over 55% of all court cases being related to conflicts over land.

Scaling is at the heart of both the name as well as the strategy of LAND-at-scale. Scaling and scaling potential are key in the way the program was designed and is reflected in the three pillars chosen to realize the aim of the program. The first pillar is about scaling successful initiatives and projects; the second pillar focuses on land governance innovations with scaling potential; and the third pillar covers knowledge management, with a focus on gaining a deeper understanding on the conditions required to make scaling successful.

1) Prof. Ngana, why did you launch this training unit on land issues at the University of Bangui? What needs does the training meet?

It was NELGA that motivated us. I am the Focal Point for NELGA in the Central African Republic. As part of the implementation of its structure in Central African universities, NELGA had launched a survey to revise the curriculum of land governance.

Durante o Fórum Mundial de Dados da ONU 2023, em Hangzhou, na China, tive a oportunidade de participar do Barômetro Global de Dados Medindo o estado dos dados para o bem público e a realização dos ODS, que a Fundação Land Portal organizou em conjunto com a Parceria de Governo Aberto (OGP - sigla em inglês), a Parceria de Contratação Aberta e o Observatório de Dados Abertos (ODW - sigla em inglês).

O reforço da segurança da posse é frequentemente considerado uma condição prévia para melhorar a subsistência, a resiliência e o uso sustentável dos recursos. As intervenções do programa LAND-at-scale, que é financiado pela Agência Empresarial Holandesa (RVO - sigla em inglês), utilizam uma série de métodos para alcançar a segurança da posse, tais como a melhoria do mapeamento e dos sistemas de registro de terras.
