Land Rights for Sustainable Development - The Role of Data

17 January 2024
Land Rights for Sustainable Development - The Role of Data by INTPA Infopoint


Having secure land tenure, ensuring people's confidence in accessing, controlling and utilizing their land, is crucial for promoting sustainable land management practices. It also plays a key role in building resilience against the impacts of climate change, including extreme weather events, rising sea levels, and increased desertification due to higher temperatures.

By using diverse sources of land data, this session demonstrated how data and monitoring processes can serve as a foundation for an evidence-based response to climate change and the role played by secure land tenure. It showcased how these different kinds of land data can be translated into meaningful messages and policy-change recommendations that can hold relevant actors accountable and support governments, enabling them to fulfil both their national and international commitments and aspirations regarding climate change.
