What do land rights mean for Indigenous Peoples?

In 2019, a group of organizations came together around the idea of creating a “standard” for the rights of Indigenous Peoples, to guide how Indigenous, Afro-descendant and local community rights should be included in legislation, investment and global development. In an Indigenous-led process that involved consultations with groups and communities around the world, the Land Rights Standard, as it came to be called, was developed over the course of the past few years, just in time to be launched in November at the Global Landscapes Forum at COP27.

The Global Landscapes Forum (GLF) is the world’s largest knowledge-led platform on integrated land use, dedicated to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals and Paris Agreement on climate change.
