Om de duurzame ontwikkelingsdoelen (SDG's) - onder andere op het gebied van armoedebestrijding en voedselschaarste - te bereiken kijkt de politiek vooral naar hoe ontwikkelingssamenwerking daaraan kan bijdragen. Maar dat is lang niet het hele verhaal. Nederland is zeer actief in het buitenland, in handel, investeringen, landbouw, veeteelt, infrastructuur, dienstverlening etc. Ook en juist dáár moet aan knoppen gedraaid worden om de SDG's te halen.

Food systems account for 33% of GHG emissions, but receive only 3% of climate finance. Climate finance is urgently needed to fund the food systems solutions that can have real impacts and wide-ranging benefits in a diversity of contexts. How do we improve on current funding pathways?

In this session hosted by NTFP-EP and the Global Alliance for Green and Gender Action (GAGGA), we will discuss the crucial steps to be taken to make gender-just climate finance a reality.
De landen en personen die het minste bijdragen aan klimaatverandering hebben het meeste last hebben van overstromingen, droogte en andere milieurampen. Wie komt voor hen op bij de klimaattop die van 6-18 november in Egypte plaatsvindt? En wat zijn de onderwerpen waar het écht over moet gaan?
Both ENDS and the Land Portal Foundation invite you to the third webinar in the Whose Land? Inclusive Pathways to Land Governance series. This third Whose Land? webinar will showcase gender transformative approaches on women's land rights. Gender transformative approaches are defined by women acting as agents of change, transforming structural barriers and redefining gender norms. These approaches facilitate the participation of women in land governance decision-making processes, but require closing the land data gender gap.

Er gaat nog altijd veel meer geld naar de fossiele industrie dan naar duurzame oplossingen. Banken, pensioenfondsen, verzekeraars en overheden blijven investeren in de fossiele infrastructuur waarmee ze mens en natuur in gevaar brengen. Wij roepen daarom op dat financiële instellingen stoppen met het financieren van de klimaatcrisis.
Loop mee met ons blok tegen fossiele financiën op de volgende klimaatmars!
Both ENDS and the Land Portal Foundation invite you to the second webinar in the Whose Land? Inclusive Pathways to Land Governance series, which will focus on the opportunities and constraints of civil society organizations (CSOs) and local communities in advocating for more open land data and in harnessing its power for improved land governance.
Join us this Saturday the 28th of May for an inpiring session about the role of agro-ecology in the trasformation to a future proof food and farming system on the African continent (and beyond).
Join us for an open space for a reflection and exchange on a new dataset, developed by WRI, to monitor regreening efforts, and its applications in the Sahel.
In the drylands of Africa, land degradation threatens the livelihoods of millions of people. Fortunately, there are promising initiatives emerging all over the continent that are turning the tide. Throughout the Sahel, for example, vast tracts of land along the Great Green Wall have been restored by local communities. They have nurtured the plants that spontaneously spring from the soil, protecting young sprouts from cattle and other hazards.
Join our dialogue on how to set up more and better financial mechanisms that can support agroecological initiatives of local communities living in drylands.
The land degradation neutrality (LDN) response hierarchy of Avoid > Reduce > Reverse land degradation is an overarching principle for LDN implementation, which guides people in planning interventions to achieve LDN. The hierarchy articulates which interventions should be prioritised based on their potential to maximise the conservation of land-based natural capital, recognising that avoiding or reducing land degradation is generally more cost-effective than efforts to reverse past degradation. As value for money is highest in the Avoiding and in Reducing Land Degradation response, a smart way to spend money is to support sustainable land management approaches like agroecology that work with nature, not against it.
Join our event, providing space for an interactive discussion among COP15 participants on multi-actor collaboration and the financing of community-based restoration
Both ENDS and the Land Portal Foundation invite you to the first webinar in the Whose Land? - Inclusive Pathways to Land Governance series, which aims to provide a platform for stakeholders engaged in land governance to exchange on the importance of inclusivity and meaningful participation of all relevant actors in both formal and informal land governance processes.
