#landex representative Eva Hershaw from @landcoalition says their data are aligned with #SDGs indicators to elevate voices while centralizing land data sets and reducing fragmentation at #FairLAND24.

[Neil Sorensen @NeilSorensen]

Data from @PrindexGlobal coming from the @Gallup world poll shows that almost 1 in 5 adults feel insecure about their land, which amounts to 1 billion people, says @MalcolmChildres from the @GlobalLandAllia at #FairLAND24.

[Neil Sorensen @NeilSorensen]

There's a big risk from land based climate change mitigation activities such as reforestation, afforestation, and forest protection measures that are financed through carbon markets, says Christophe Kubitza from @Land_Matrix at #FairLAND24 @LANDacademy

For Land-at-scale Uganda, @mwesigyesp from @GLTNnews says #landconflicts have arisen between local communities and 200,000 refugees from #SouthSudan, which has exerted a lot of pressure on forests & wetlands. @LANDacademy #FairLAND24 @GemmaBetsema https://t.co/NqJHK9BbKY

[Neil Sorensen @NeilSorensen]

Alexandra 't Lam from the Amahoro @ Scale project, part of the Land-at-scale program, says #landconflicts are often between returnees and the residents linked to the occupation of refugee land. #FairLAND24 @LANDacademy @GemmaBetsema Read more: https://t.co/NqJHK9BbKY
