A day at Sida: three dialogues on smallholder and Indigenous-led action to the climate, food, and biodiversity crises
Join us on the 1st of June at Sida in Stockholm, for a day filled with experiences from the ground on the agency of farmer and forest associations, Indigenous peoples and local communities, youth and women in the climate, biodiversity and food security crises. Three separate but thematically linked dialogues within the field of agriculture, land use, food systems, biodiversity, tenure and rights will be facilitated with a wide range of speakers. In-between the events networking spaces, lunch and coffee will be provided to the participants. The day will thus serve both as dialogue opportunities ahead of Stockholm+50 as associated events and as a forum to initiate much needed deepened collaborations to accelerate global progress towards a more just, resilient, and sustainable future. Focus will be on the situation for and messages from rights holders and their agency in bridging the implementation gaps, from words to action, for a healthy, just and liveable planet. Focali co-arrange the day and the 3rd event: Transforming our Relation with Land and Nature from an Intergenerational Perspective -Indigenous Peoples’ role for a healthy and just planet 2072.

Event co-organized by Focali:
This event will highlight the importance of Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPLCs) and their agency in safeguarding the world's forests, ecosystems and biodiversity. Building on the realization that human rights, intergenerational equity, meaningful participation, and clear accountability frameworks are key to achieving a healthy planet and prosperity for all, the panel will explore how upholding tenure security and a human rights-based approach can bridge implementation gaps for a just, resilient, and sustainable future. Drawing on the insights of a diverse panel, the event will contribute to intercultural learning, and the essential lessons of IPLCs on how we can collectively transform our relationship with nature.
