The Asia Land Forum (ALF) is a regional platform that fosters learning, sharing, and collaboration to promote people-centered land governance. By bringing together diverse stakeholders, the ALF addresses pressing land-related issues, including conflicts, climate change, and inequalities, with a special focus on the vital role of marginalized groups such as women and Indigenous Peoples. The ALF connects ILC members and partners across Asia to advance people-centered land governance, promote land rights, and highlight the importance of inclusive land governance in tackling global challenges.
In 2025, the ALF aims to unite members and partners to celebrate achievements, share knowledge, network, and strategize for enhanced people-centered land governance. Key objectives include aligning regional approaches, prioritizing land rights, and empowering people’s organizations.
This year’s forum focuses on four critical thematic areas:
- Land and agrarian reforms
- Land conflict and defender protection
- Women-led movements and land rights
- Addressing climate change impacts on people’s land rights
CIFOR-ICRAF scientists will participate in the Asia Land Forum 2025, engaging with various stakeholders for knowledge exchange, and sharing of good practices of CIFOR-ICRAF’s work.
