On Thursday September 28, 2017 from 8:00-9:00 am EDT, join USAID LandLinks and experts from across the world in a 60-minute webinar examining the numerous important linkages between land as a scarce and contested resource, other natural resources, and conflict. Around the world, concerns related to access to and development of land and resources, equitable use of valuable resources, and distribution of revenues associated with land and resource use drive disputes and violence. 

This 60-minute webinar will include a discussion of contemporary land and conflict issues and possible solutions for mitigating land-related conflict before the session opens to questions from the audience and further discussion.

Participate in the conversation on Twitter using the hashtag #LandAndConflict and start posing your questions on the topic today!
