th

2013 Global Land

Forum andAssembly of

Members

Guatemala

Every two years, the International Land Coalition (ILC) organizes an international

forum to convene its members and other stakeholders on land to advance

understanding of the complex and dynamic political, economic, environmentaland societal linkages between land governance, food security, poverty and

democracy. The central focus of the Global Land Forum 2013 will be on

territoriality, which brings together power, society and space. In the context of

rapid and profound spatial transformation of the scale being witnessed in Latin

America, in emerging economies and even the poorest countries, the

complexity of the land question will be examined beyond the preliminary

discussions on the tenure rights of individual households of groups of actors to

include also management of the modes of production, social relations and living

conditions affected by them. ILC's ultimate objective is to mobilize its members

and partners to influence land-related policy practice. In pursuit of this objective,

the Coalition facilitates multi-stakeholder processes in the search for people-

centred responses to land governance challenges. The 2013 meeting willconsider the theme of "Inclusive and Sustainable Territorial Governance for Food

Security," and will focus on: the future of family farming and the geo-political

economy of food; land grabbing and land access; indigenous peoples' territory;

effective land institutions; environmental aspects of territorial disputes; open

data, monitoring and accountability; and learning and strengthening collective

action. .

Fri 26th Clean Energy

Financing Forum

for Central

America and the

Caribbean

San Pedro Sula,

Honduras

The Clean Energy Financing Forum for Central America and the Caribbean(CEFF-CAC) is sponsored by the Climate Technology Initiative (CTI), a multilateral

initiative operating as an implementing agreement under the International

Energy Agency (IEA), and the CTI's Private Financing Advisory Network (CTI

PFAN), the US Agency for International Development (USAID) and the

International Center for Environmental Technology Transfer (ICETT). CCEF-CAC

will seek to bring together screened clean technology proposals from the Region

that offer environmental and social benefits with potential investors. Agriculture,

as one of the major consumers of energy, can benefit a lot from partnering with

these initiatives to work out more sustainable and environmentally-friendly

options for energy, and ultimately food and nutrition security. One interesting

feature of the forum will be a panel of judges, made up of investors, industry

specialists and business executives who have a keen interest in enabling cleanerand greener projects will select the best projects for the CTI Central America and

the Caribbean Clean Energy Financing Awards. Through this forum, it is hoped

that a marriage between entrepreneurs, their ideas and projects and investmentwill be facilitated.
