The Tenth Rights and Resources Initiative (RRI) Dialogue on Forests, Governance and Climate Change opened on the morning of 7 September 2011 in The Hague, Netherlands. Andy White, RRI Coordinator, opened the meeting, describing environmental and development challenges as emerging state security issues, and highlighting that while land rights are part of the global rhetoric, they have not been a global priority in practice.
Morning panels addressed the challenge of breaking down barriers between discussions on agriculture, forests, land rights and resource governance; as well as the current status of rights, livelihoods and governance in the world’s rural and forest areas. Panelists suggested that individual and collective government responses to the land grabbing and food security crises have been inadequate over recent years. Participants considered approaches to encourage the engagement of government, civil society and private investors in national and international tenure initiatives, as well as lessons learned from successful cases.
Afternoon panels focused on climate change and agriculture, and food security. Panelists discussed the drivers of land grabs, describing approaches for increasing transparency related to land deals and the roles of private companies. Participants also heard the role of Oxfam’s Grow Initiative to combat food security. On climate change and agriculture, participants noted that the UNFCCC negotiations on REDD+ are much more developed than those on agriculture and they discussed approaches to address agricultural emissions, for example through Reduced Emissions from All Land Uses (REALU). Participants called for a broader consideration of the range of incentives facing rural stakeholders.
