"𝗛𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱: 𝗪𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻, 𝗟𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲" is a flagship set of five parallel dialogues that centre women’s lived experiences with land across diverse social groups by Working Group for Women and Land Ownership (WGWLO) collaborating with Landesa, International Land Coalition (ILC) - Asia and Womanity

Bringing together women from Dalit, DNT, and landless communities, the dialogue explores their lived realities of exclusion, displacement, and systemic barriers to accessing land and commons—while also highlighting their strategies of resistance, leadership, and collective action. Through testimonies, reflections, and insights from grassroots leaders and ecosystem actors, the session aims to deepen understanding of how land rights, social justice, and dignity intersect, and to identify pathways for more inclusive, accountable policy and practice.

As India develops its own domestic carbon market, this session brings comparative insights from Kenya, the Philippines, and other Global South experiences to examine questions of land access, FPIC, benefit-sharing, and accountability. Panelists will unpack what equitable, transparent, and participatory carbon governance can look like—and what India can learn as it charts its path. The discussion aims to equip policymakers, civil society, and practitioners with concrete strategies to embed carbon justice into emerging national and subnational policies.
