As countries move to implement concrete actions to deliver a climate responsive transition from renewable energy to reforestation and conservation—collectively held lands are increasingly at the center of proposed solutions. But how are these lands governed? Who decides how they are used? And what happens when customary institutions and formal governance systems collide?
Join the LandPortal for an ALIGN webinar on October 2, 2025 from 1:00–2:30 PM CEST to unpack the opportunities and tensions that collective land tenure brings to the just transition agenda, as well as the concrete strategies being adopted in response.
The session will feature insights from traditional authorities, community organisations, and civil society leaders actively engaged at the frontlines of land governance and climate action. Key discussion points will include:
- Balancing competing land uses in transition planning
- Understanding the role and responsibilities of customary institutions
- Exploring strategies to ensure meaningful participation and consent
This is the seventh webinar in the Advancing Land-based Investment Governance (ALIGN) series, which focuses on the governance of land-based investments in the Global South. The series explores practical strategies and approaches adopted by rights defenders and practitioners to address common challenges surrounding these investments.
