Strengthening community-based land resource protection
- Managing land resources with local protection practices
Description
Strengthening community-based land resource protection involves empowering local communities to manage, monitor, and defend their land and natural resources. This strategy prioritizes participatory decision-making, legal recognition of customary rights, and capacity-building to prevent land degradation, encroachment, and exploitation. By fostering local stewardship and providing tools for sustainable management, it remedies issues such as resource depletion, land conflicts, and loss of livelihoods, ensuring long-term environmental and social resilience.
Implementation
This strategy features in the framework of Agenda 21 as formulated at UNCED (Rio de Janeiro, 1992), now coordinated by the United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development and implemented through national and local authorities.
Agenda 21 recommends strengthening community-based land-resource protection practices in existing urban and rural settlements.
