Land Matrix

Launched yesterday at #ICARRD20, this new @FAO report explains why #landdata is critical for secure #landtenure, livelihoods, #foodsecurity, equality and #landrights. Co-published by our partners CIRAD and ILC, with contributions by the Land Matrix 👀 bit.ly/40wIg3W

The #carbonoffset debate isn’t black & white. In our response to GRAIN, published by Mongabay, we agree many land-based carbon deals pose real risks. But not all. Our data shows contrasting models and risk profiles. Nuance matters. bit.ly/40eBe3G

Our partner @RECONCILE1999 will be at next week's #CLPA2025 to discuss issues around #tenurerights, #landgovernance & more and highlight our role in shaping data-informed policy for just & inclusive #ClimateAction in Africa’s #rangelands. Don't miss it! bit.ly/43eOSWz

🌍 Where in the world are #CarbonOffset projects expanding the fastest? And why?📍 Africa’s Congo Basin, South America (esp. Brazil), and Southeast Asia (esp. Indonesia) are emerging as #greengrabbing hotspots, as our latest Analytical Report revealsℹ️ bit.ly/3We89Uf

Our incredible partner @AsianFarmers presenting at the #CFS53 on the crucial role of #agroecology for the sustainable livelihoods of #IndigenousPeoples, #peasants and #smallholder family farmers. "Farmers cannot cool the planet if they are being pushed off their land".

Speaking now at #CFS53, Jann Lay from @Land_Matrix and @GIGA_Institute presenting key findings from our new report on #CarbonOffset projects as a threat to rights - we have a long way to go but we have made 4 crucial recommendations that can get us there: bit.ly/3We89Uf

Happening now at #CFS53! Our side event exploring the intersection between #LandRights and #CarbonMarkets in the context of #climateaction #biodiversity #foodsecurity #IndigenousPeoples #agroecology #ICARRD20 #foodsystems #tenuresecurity. Keep following for more!

New research raises serious concerns about impacts of land-intensive, #NatureBasedSolutions–central to the #VoluntaryCarbonMarket–on vulnerable communities. More comprehensive #CarbonStandards are crucial! 👀 Read more: bit.ly/4q1ZsKd

Is it possible to develop #cleanenergy sources at scale and still protect the environment and ensure fair business practices and equal access for all? Our partner @landmatrixlac finds out >>bit.ly/47fcGwj #justtransition #greengrabbing #Argentina #energytransition

At the #GLF2025 earlier this year one reality was clear: equitable and inclusive #landgovernance remains elusive in many contexts – undermining local communities’ rights and participation and preventing a #JustTransition. We show how data can change that 👉bit.ly/45QcqBo

Fast-tracking #RenewableEnergy projects w/out proper environmental & social safeguards can create as many problems as they solve: bit.ly/4fQqO1q Our deal narrative on #carbonoffset projects in #Indonesia explores if there is a win-win solution: bit.ly/4l5qTQF

Leading #carbonoffset certifier #Verra is updating its #VerifiedCarbonStandard and we're actively engaging in this process because, as our Deal Narratives show, we still have a long way to go to a just and equitable #carbonsector. More here: bit.ly/3IYS2qb #CarbonCredits

#Windenergy is one of the most sustainable & enviro-friendly energy sources. Still, turbines shouldn't be built in violation of the law or destroy valuable ecosystems in the process. But it is, as our partner @ecodiya found out in #Ukraine's #PolonynaRuna📢bit.ly/3U4OW6g

We've already recorded 9M ha of #LandDeals for #CarbonOffset projects, with #Indonesia’s #rainforests emerging as a key hotspot. But do these projects really deliver the climate AND community benefits they promise? Our deal narrative dives in: bit.ly/4l5qTQF #LandRights

Join us and partners tomorrow 10 June to explore the impacts of #energytransition-related land projects, specifically related to #fossilfuels and #cleanenergy, on indigenous and community land rights and the environment. REGISTER for the webinar here🗓️ bit.ly/4kYbTUa

We've just published 3 articles by our partner @ecodiya - Centre for Environmental Initiatives 🇺🇦 in which they explore Eastern Europe’s experience in implementing the #VGGTs – with a focus on the impact on communities and the environment: @ecodiya" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">bit.ly/3SVm0x7@ecodiya #tenurerights

Can Nepal unlock its immense #renewableenergy potential to overcome its energy scarcity, while safeguarding #landrights? This case brief finds out more about the policy constraints, underdeveloped infrastructure and investment opportunities: bit.ly/3Z1fo3H @AsianFarmers
