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 truly #JustTransition. We show how data can change that 👉http://bit.ly/45QcqBo

Leading #carbonoffset certifier #Verra is updating its #VerifiedCarbonStandard programme and we're actively engaging in the process, which is crucial to achieve a more just and equitable #carbonsector, as our Deal Narratives have already shown. Check them out here: bit.ly/3IYS2qb #carboncredits

The #PolonynaRuna mountain ridge in #Ukraine is being devastated by unlawful development of a #windfarm. Yes, #windenergy is important, but turbines shouldn't be built in violation of the law or destroy valuable ecosystems in the process. Yet they are, as we found out 📢 bit.ly/3U4OW6g

We've already recorded 9M hectares of #LandDeals for #CarbonOffset projects in our database, 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 finds out 🔎 bit.ly/4l5qTQF #LandRights

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