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. The roots of poverty and climate change are so intertwined that they can only be solved together.
