About ILDC

In the final stretch toward the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), ILDC highlights land not just as a resource, but as a site of power, identity, struggle, and opportunity. ILDC, also provides an unique and inclusive convergence platform for the inter-sectoral actors to engage in interdisciplinary conversation around all such land-matters, as increasingly land matters more for achieving sustainable development and climate resilience.

ILDC over the years

ILDC is Global South’s one of the biggest annual international conferences that connects conversations on land and development. By bringing together a diverse range of stakeholders — researchers, policymakers, practitioners, civil society actors, and private sector professionals — it catalyses collective reflection, learning, and action around critical land questions imperative for development, locally and globally.

Why ILDC

Land lies at the heart of development debates today. Rapid urbanisation, climate change, energy transitions, and growing demands on natural resources are transforming how land is governed, used, and valued. These transformations present profound opportunities but also complex challenges that demand thoughtful engagement across sectors and disciplines. ILDC was conceived as a platform to facilitate such engagement. Over the years, it has become a convergence space where policymakers, researchers, civil society actors, community representatives, and practitioners come together to discuss the social, ecological, and economic dimensions of land governance.
