The roots of poverty and climate change are so intertwined that they can only be solved together. Many of the rural and indigenous communities least responsible for the climate crisis are already suffering most from its effects. Secure land rights can empower millions to protect and restore lands, forests, and coasts in their communities, which in turn will promote biodiversity conservation, dynamic carbon storage, and climate-smart agriculture.
Healthier ecosystems can better support the 2.5 billion people worldwide who rely on farmlands, pastures, coasts, and forests for their livelihoods.
Stronger rights for women can increase power, voice, and status, leading to greater opportunity, safety, and dignity.
