The objective of this Infopoint was to mobilise for more responsible and inclusive investment. 

This Infopoint conference, organised by the Land Matrix (a EU funded project, tracking large-scale land investments worldwide) was structured around the release of its latest report focussing on evolution, impacts and VGGT implementation in the framework of large-scale land acquisitions (ref report: Little progress in practice.

The presentation of these results were complemented by a presentation of the International Federation for Human Rights, discussing the above results in the framework of the EU’s new rules for companies to respect human rights and environment in global value chains.
