Initiatives for Land, Lives, and Peace (ILLP) is delighted to inform you of the upcoming Caux Dialogue on Land and Security (CDLS 2016), due to take place between 29th June and 3rd July at Caux, Switzerland.CDLS 2016 will focus on the interaction between land degradation and migration, and the opportunities that land restoration offers in reducing the pressures for migration.

Hosted in partnership with UN Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD), International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and Initiatives of Change International, CDLS 2016 will unpack the complexity inherent in land degradation, migration and conflict, and address the integral need for trust-building between individuals, communities, and governments to solve these issues.

Through a host of thought-provoking panels and interactive workshops, which engage policy-makers, activists, scientists and practitioners alike, CDLS 2016 seeks to create a shared vision for sustainable peace in the world’s degraded ecosystems, and to build the trust needed for effective collaboration on the ground and in ‘land-peace partnerships’. [Please contact us at land@iofc.org if you would like to discuss hosting a workshop.]
