Land, Labour and Climate: Agroecology and Agrarian Reform for a Just Transition
United Voices of the World – Assembly Room 144 Cambridge Heath Rd, Bethnal Green, London E1 5QJ
About this Event
Join us for a conversation on the strategic role of agrarian reform, land rights, and territory-based public policies for a just ecological transition. This transition aims to address the climate crisis without reproducing historical and social inequalities. Hosted by Labora – Fund for Decent Work, this event will highlight how popular and community-led land use — anchored in agroecology and agroforestry practices — can protect biomes, ensure food sovereignty, and generate decent livelihoods. We’ll also discuss how these solutions can be strengthened through public policies, collective organizing, and philanthropic support. For this conversation we invited Camilo Augusto Santana (MST/Brasil), María Leonor Yonda (Via Campesina/Colômbia), Haley St. Dennis (Institute for Human Rights and Business/EUA), Nick Robins (London School of Economics and Political Science/England) and Ana Valéria Araújo (Brazil Human Rights Fund/Brasil).
Labora – Fund for Decent Work, initiative of the Brazil Human Rights Fund
Labora – Fund for Decent Work is an initiative that strengthens the autonomous organization, representation, and leadership of workers in debates and decision-making spaces regarding contemporary challenges. For Labora, decent work for all people, with racial, gender, and climate justice, is a fundamental premise for overcoming the deep inequalities that shape Brazil’s social and economic structure and for strengthening democracy.
Created, implemented, and operated by the Brazil Human Rights Fund, Labora emerged from a collective effort initiated by the Laudes Foundation in Brazil, with participation from the Ford Foundation and Open Society Foundations.
