At #ICARRD+20 in Cartagena, one message stood out: land rights, rural justice, sustainable development and the right to food are inseparable.
As HLPE-FSN Cecilia Elizondo reminded us: without biodiversity, healthy soils and climate-resilient systems, there is no food.
Forests power economies. 🌍🌲
They create jobs, support millions of livelihoods and contribute trillions to the global economy — providing clean water, climate regulation, energy, raw materials and ecotourism.
