SDG Land Tracker | Land Portal

The SDG Land Tracker provides easy access to official data and information on all land-specific SDG indicators. It concisely explains the indicators, why they are important, and tracks progress.


Context

UN member States endorsed the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and committed to implement the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) - a set of 17 Global Goals, in a 15-year period.

The SDGs contain land-related targets and indicators under SDGs 1, 2, 5, 11 and 15.  Many national, regional and global organizations and stakeholders working in the land sector are committed to implementing the SDGs and monitoring the land-related indicators to promote responsible land governance and secure tenure rights for all. Land is a key economic resource inextricably linked to access to, use of and control over other economic and productive resources thus, critical to achieving the SDGs.

Oxfam together with the International Land Coalition analyzed the Voluntary National Reports submitted by national governments to the High Level Political Forum 2020 with emphasis on land-related SDG progress. Despite some positive developments, the analysis concludes that land rights have not yet been prioritized in many countries. The report also shows that it needs strong political commitment, resources, and multi-sectoral efforts to fulfill the land-related SDG indicators.

For 2022, 46 countries have volunteered to submit progress reports to the 2022 HLPF.

The official metadata are available at the SDG UN Metadata website

    A terra é um recurso finito, e o acesso a ela é essencial para a subsistência de indivíduos e comunidades. Para garantir que o acesso à terra seja seguro e equitativo para todos, as Nações Unidas estabeleceram os Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável (ODS) 1.4.2, que mede a segurança da posse da terra para os indivíduos, e o ODS 5.a.1, que mede a segurança da posse da terra agrícola a partir de uma perspectiva de gênero.

    • The climate crisis cannot be solved without ending tropical deforestation, which increased by 12% between 2019 and 2020.
    • A jurisdictional approach to forest protection enables governments to drive systemic change at a national level while supporting local and private efforts.
    • Here are five key reasons why this approach should be central to corporate climate strategies.

In more than 30 sessions, about 150 speakers and panelists deliberated over 3 days around interdisciplinary land-conversations to generate important information and evidence for policy, practice and academics.

    Ten important land messages that emerge from these land conversations are:

    After an audacious land grab by a foreign company, indigenous women in a remote Cambodian village struggle to regain their farms and sacred sites.



    Sol Preng remembers vividly the day in 2012 when bulldozers unexpectedly arrived on her family farm.


    “The company came and cleared away our cashew trees right before the harvest,” she says. “I lost four hectares of land and all my cashew trees.”
