Press and News CGIAR at the Global Land Forum 2025: Bridging Science and Land Governance
With more than 1,300 delegates from 90 countries, the tenth Global Land Forum (GLF) turned Bogotá into the epicenter of international debate on land rights. In this setting, CGIAR contributed its perspective from applied research, participating in the decision-making spaces of the International Land Coalition (ILC) and presenting locally grounded solutions.
Held recently in the Colombian capital, the GLF brought together experts, community leaders, and policymakers to discuss how to advance land rights in a context marked by climate change, inequality, and conflict. Organized by Colombia’s Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, the ILC, the European Union, and Cinep/PPP, the event reaffirmed the central role of land in global debates. As Marcy Vigoda, Director of the ILC, stated, “If we truly want to build a just and sustainable world, we must start with people and their relationship to the land.”
