Advancing Collective Livelihoods and Economies for People and Planet

Join the Rights and Resources Initiative (RRI) and partners for the launch of a new global initiative — From Land Tenure to Community Prosperity: Advancing Collective Livelihoods and Economies for People and Planet.

This event marks the next phase of RRI’s 20-year coalition journey linking land rights, livelihoods, and conservation. Participants will explore how secure collective tenure and community-led enterprises form the foundation for resilient local economies, healthy ecosystems, and climate solutions that work for people and the planet.

Through an engaging dialogue with Indigenous, local, and Afro-descendant leaders, development partners, and donors, the session will spotlight proven community-led models of prosperity from forests, drylands, and pastoral landscapes. It will also present RRI’s vision for scaling these approaches through coordinated investment, policy reform, and rightsholder leadership.

What to expect:

• A first look at RRI’s forthcoming global livelihoods and enterprise initiative.
• Inspiring insights from community leaders and practitioners driving local economic transformation.
• Strategic reflections from partners and funders on how to align resources for greater impact.
• Opportunities to connect with leading organizations advancing rights-based approaches to sustainable development.

Be part of this milestone conversation shaping the next generation of community prosperity and conservation action.
