Green #landgrabbing: A growing threat to #nature and communities Ahead of international biodiversity negotiations #CBD #COP16, two new briefings highlight the dangers of #greengrabs and the urgent need for community-led and agroecological solutions. Land is being repurposed for supposedly 'green' goals like carbon offsetting and top-down conservation projects – often at the expense of small-scale farmers and Indigenous Peoples who are vital stewards of #biodiversity. It could be the biggest land grab in history. At #COP26Colombia, community-led solutions are urgently needed to halt green grabs and biodiversity destruction.
