land resources

Land resources are the raw materials of our planet's surface that support human activities and nature's balance. They include soil, water, plants, minerals, and terrain. These resources are vital for farming, construction, and preserving the environment.

Commitment 9: EFFECTIVE ACTIONS AGAINST LAND GRABBING

Prevent and remedy land grabbing, respecting traditional land use rights and local livelihoods, and ensuring that all large-scale initiatives that involve the use of land, water, and other natural resources comply with human rights and environmental obligations. Where adverse impacts on human rights and legitimate tenure rights have occurred, concerned actors should provide for, and cooperate in, impartial and competent mechanisms to provide remedy, including through land restitution and compensation.
