This document summarizes an assessment of the quality of land investments in Laos. It finds that investments varied greatly in their quality across economic, social, and environmental dimensions. Data on 74 projects showed mixed compliance with village consultation requirements and impacts on local land access and compensation. Employment effects also differed by sector, with mining providing the most jobs but agriculture the most permanent positions. By analyzing projects across compliance, economic, social, and environmental criteria, important trade-offs between stakeholder interests were revealed. The authors conclude this multidimensional qualitative approach can better inform government decision-making on land investments compared to single metric assessments.

2016 GGSD Forum - Opening Session: Presentation by Mr. Christian Kastrop, Dir...
Christian Kastrop discusses how the OECD can improve its advice on spatial planning policies. While past economic surveys have often recommended removing restrictions on land use to boost growth, this approach has been superficial. Spatial planning involves trade-offs between economic, environmental, and social outcomes that are not always quantified. To provide better guidance, the OECD should more clearly identify the multiple purposes of spatial planning and acknowledge inherent tensions between objectives.
Greater Cape Town Water Fund - the Business Case
Water Funds are financial and governance mechanisms that support water security. Following Cape Town's 'day zero' there is much interest in Cape Town in removing 'thirsty' alien vegetation in the city's catchment areas - this presentation, first used in a training on water funds given in late 2020, outlines the business model that underpins the Greater Cape Town Water Fund. Presented first by Louise Stafford.

Chinese overseas agricultural investment has been on the rise due to factors like expanding development opportunities and rising domestic production costs. Key features include direct land investments in Africa, South America, and Central Asia to access abundant resources, and mergers and acquisitions in developed countries for technology and brands. However, Chinese firms' practices of aspiring to large tracts of land and reluctance to negotiate with local governments has led to conflicts over land ownership rights and resource usage. Potential solutions include improved transparency, regulations and communication between home and host governments as well as Chinese firms building closer ties with local communities.
Chan sophal s2 policy dialogue agriculture investment
1) Cambodia granted over 2 million hectares as economic land concessions (ELCs) to 230 companies between 1993-2012, causing numerous land conflicts between ELCs and local communities.
2) In 2012, an order was issued placing a temporary moratorium on new ELCs, canceling ELCs that violated agreements, and reviewing all existing ELCs.
3) The review resulted in the cancellation of 12 ELCs totaling 150,000 hectares under MAFF and 23 ELCs totaling 127,000 hectares under MoE being returned to the state.

This document summarizes a study on falling rubber prices in northern Laos and the responses of rubber producers and government officials. The study found that rubber producers are responding to low prices by not tapping rubber trees, tapping with household labor, selling land, leasing land for other crops, and aggregating rubber to attract higher prices. Government efforts like promoting farmer groups and setting recommended prices have had limited impact. Contracted floor prices set by rubber companies are often not enforced. Rubber prices paid to farmers are about half of the posted prices at processing factories, indicating market power issues. The conclusions call for more policy options beyond current measures to better support smallholder rubber production in Laos.

Vietnamese companies have been increasingly investing in agriculture in neighboring countries like Laos and Cambodia. The Vietnamese government supports such outbound investment through laws and policies. However, some Vietnamese investments have faced criticism for negative impacts like large-scale land concessions damaging local livelihoods and the environment. One case study is Hoang Anh Gia Lai (HAGL), a major Vietnamese investor in Cambodia and Laos accused of issues like clearing forests, low community consultation, and ties to local politicians. In response, communities and NGOs have protested while organizations like Oxfam aim to promote responsible investment practices and dispute resolution.

The document discusses private sector agricultural investments in ASEAN countries and the need for common regional policies to regulate them. Some key points:
1) ASEAN represents a large economy and population, making it an attractive destination for foreign direct investment (FDI), including in agriculture. However, some investments have led to issues like displacement, land conflicts, and environmental degradation.
2) While existing ASEAN agreements promote investment liberalization, there is a need for policies to protect communities' rights and welfare, ensure food security, and safeguard the environment from the impacts of rising private sector investments.
3) Regional standards and mechanisms are needed to promote good governance, community consent, land and food security policies, impact assessments

This document discusses criteria that property developers consider when assessing the viability of brownfield redevelopment projects in urban areas. It examines two case studies of brownfield redevelopments in Auckland, New Zealand through document analysis, site observations, and interviews with developers. The main findings suggest that economic aspects are the most important criteria for developers, as projects offering quick investment returns are preferred. Environmental concerns are given the lowest priority, with little consideration of reducing impacts or incorporating green building practices. A shift toward a more comprehensive environmental approach is needed for sustainable city development.

What a Waste - Global Review of Solid Waste Management
Solid waste management is the one thing just
about every city government provides for
its residents. While service levels, environmental impacts and costs vary dramatically,
solid waste management is arguably the most
important municipal service and serves as a
prerequisite for other municipal action.

The document summarizes research on the causes of urban sprawl and solutions for sustainable urban development in Pleiku City, Vietnam. It finds that the main causes agreed upon by citizens and experts are housing investment, lack of affordable housing, lack of proper planning policies, and weak land use planning. Economic growth and industrialization were also cited as drivers of sprawl. The study proposes solutions aimed at sustainable urban development and "green cities for health" in the context of climate change.
Urban Transformation Project: Tackling Affordability and Sustainability
Urban Transformation Project: Tackling Affordability and SustainabilityGabriel A. Nagy - Urban Development, PMP, MSc
The most important medium term challenge in the region is how to manage the growth of cities without compromising the environment, the economy, its governance and quality of life of its citizens. Urban transformation cannot be improvised and sustainable growth requires planning to face the future. An in order to be sustainable planning requires assuming a regional and metropolitan strategy. Planning should be inclusive, allowing all members of society to share their vision of the future of the city. This vision should at least aim at reducing vulnerability and should be based on democratic principles and equity; should promote the protection of undeveloped land; the preservation of cultural heritage; and strengthening the economy. Improve the quality of life for residents, maintaining and strengthen the representativeness, effectiveness, transparency and accountability of authorities and city government is indispensable.Viv Rosser
Sustainability targets and a struggling housing market are negatively impacting affordable housing delivery in the UK. Tighter lending criteria, falling land and home values, and fewer buyers and sellers have reduced new housing starts. This loss of capacity threatens achieving government targets for affordable housing completion. Meeting sustainability requirements under the Code for Sustainable Homes will further increase costs at a time when development economics are already constrained. However, properly accounting for local housing needs and market conditions may allow projects to remain viable while still achieving sustainability goals.
What a waste2012 final
This document provides a summary of a World Bank report on global solid waste management. It finds that the amount of municipal solid waste generated globally is expected to increase substantially, from 1.3 billion tonnes per year currently to 2.2 billion tonnes by 2025. Waste generation rates will more than double in many low-income countries over the next 20 years. The costs of solid waste management are also expected to rise significantly worldwide, increasing from $205 billion currently to around $375 billion in 2025, with the largest cost increases in low- and lower-middle income countries. Improving waste management, especially in low-income nations, is identified as an urgent global priority.
The Circular Economy in Cities and Regions - OECD
Today, cities demand almost two-thirds of global energy, produce up to 80% of greenhouse emissions and 50% of global waste. The circular economy can provide a policy response to cope with the above challenges, as a driver for economic growth, jobs and environmental quality.
Cities and regions have a key role to play as promoters, facilitators and enablers of circular economy. Adequate economic and governance conditions should be in place to unlock its potential.
Mixed use zoning an anathema to social sustainability
This document discusses the effectiveness of mixed use zoning in addressing criticisms of single-use zoning, specifically regarding social sustainability. It summarizes that while mixed use zoning aims to create vibrant, walkable communities, in practice it often favors higher-income residents through a lack of affordable housing policies. As a result, mixed use developments tend to have limited social cohesion and community building impacts due to a lack of income diversity among residents. The document examines these issues through studies on housing affordability, land use mixes, social capital, and use of public spaces in mixed use neighborhoods.

This document discusses China's national spatial planning framework and green growth objectives to guide urbanization, as well as local responses in Beijing. It outlines China's goals of reaching a 60% urbanization rate by 2020 while limiting per capita urban land use and increasing renewable energy and green buildings. Example low-carbon eco-city projects across China are compared in scale to capital cities. The document also discusses Beijing's plans to establish green eco-districts and use zoning and land contracts to meet sustainability targets for energy, water, waste and carbon.

This document summarizes a presentation on indigenous women's access and political rights to forest spaces and territories in Asia. It notes that indigenous communities, about half of whom are women, are highly dependent on forests but face challenges to their customary practices and lack of recognition of their knowledge. The presentation highlights indigenous women's roles as knowledge holders and protectors of forests. It identifies gaps in research, indigenous women's empowerment and representation. It outlines interventions by the Asia Indigenous Peoples Pact such as documenting best practices, strengthening indigenous women's organizations, and advocating for indigenous women's rights in decision-making platforms.
26 1115 regional 1_recoftc ct recognition
This document discusses pathways for recognizing customary tenure in the Mekong region. It describes customary tenure as the rules and norms that govern a community's relationship to and use of forest and land resources. There are three main pathways for recognizing customary tenure: self-recognition by communities, co-recognition between communities and external actors, and legal/statutory recognition by the state. Both informal pathways like community mapping and formal agreements, and formal pathways like community forestry programs and land titling, have challenges and opportunities to secure communities' tenure rights and livelihoods. Formal recognition of customary tenure is still limited in providing full rights and can be complex, but opportunities exist to better support self- and co-recognition and increase statutory recognition

Sung village in Hoa Binh Province has traditionally managed 367 hectares of protection forest for over 500 years. The village divides the forest area among 44 households and manages exploitation according to customary rules. A new co-management model between the village, the forest management board, and local government aims to strengthen customary tenure rights and improve livelihoods through developing a Shan tea value chain. Expected results include enhancing people's rights and roles in forest governance, improving capacity in forest and tea management, and increasing community incomes and responsibility over the forest area. The model has potential to be scaled up across other communes given support from relevant laws and policies and the forest management board's plans.

26 1115 laos 3 land and forest law by hackman and derbidge
The document summarizes an assessment of new land and forest laws in Laos regarding customary tenure recognition. The assessment found that while the new Land Law recognizes some customary land rights, it does not adequately address diverse tenure systems like shifting cultivation. The Forest Law excludes customary land rights altogether. There is a lack of alignment between the laws, making interpretation and implementation regarding customary rights difficult. Suggested areas for improvement in the laws include stronger recognition of customary lands and resources, adherence to free, prior, and informed consent principles for land concessions, and clarification on gender and women's land rights.
26 1115 laos 2 vfi calm experience
- In Laos, 65% of the rural population depends on agriculture and forests for livelihood. Communal land is commonly used but customary tenure rights are not clearly defined in law. This leads to insecure land tenure and risk of land being taken.
- The project aimed to improve land tenure security for 1200 households by recognizing customary tenure, surveying communal lands, issuing certificates, and establishing management plans.
- Key outcomes included 162 collective land certificates for 2631 hectares and 1039 individual land use certificates for households after surveying 2902 hectares using STDM. Management plans were also developed for 8 villages.

26 0930 3_cegorn_customary tenure recognition in vietnam
This document discusses community-based forest management in Vietnam. It notes that over 1.26 million hectares of forestland is managed by community forest groups. The forestry law of 2017 recognized customary forest practices and prioritized forest allocation to ethnic minority communities. However, challenges remain around the legal framework, local institutional capacity and flexibility, market access, and safeguards for vulnerable groups. Case studies show how cooperatives have helped communities market forest products and increase land tenure security. Moving forward, greater recognition of community tenure rights is needed alongside legal reforms and capacity building to strengthen community forest management.

27 1215 mrlf session 3 key takeaways_pinto
This document discusses key takeaways from a session on demystifying free, prior, and informed consent (FPIC):
- FPIC is an international standard protected by human rights law regarding indigenous peoples' right to self-determination and participation in decisions affecting them.
- FPIC foremost serves as a safeguard for indigenous peoples' universal rights, and is part of social safeguards in climate agreements.
- FPIC is captured in some national policies but overall implementation is still limited.
The document provides examples of FPIC approaches from organizations in Southeast Asia. It also notes challenges in FPIC processes and the need to build understanding and capacity around FPIC for communities, governments, and companies.

27 0900 setting the scene_grow asia_asean rai overview
1) Responsible Agricultural Investing (RAI) aims to promote smarter, better, and more holistic decision-making through public-private-producer partnerships. Grow Asia works with 578 partners across Southeast Asia, reaching over 2 million farmers.
2) There is debate around the impacts of foreign direct investment in agriculture. While some studies find benefits like jobs and infrastructure, others warn of "land grabs" that negatively impact farmers. Basic guidelines could improve outcomes for all.
3) The Committee on Food Security developed 10 RAI principles in 2014-2015, but implementation has been mixed. ASEAN adopted similar RAI guidelines in 2018 and aims to standardize responsible operations through policy, expertise, and embedding
26 1645 key takeaways recoftc_atkinson
Multitudes of experiences documenting customary tenure were shared, but key barriers still inhibit full realization of rights. While some legal instruments have passed, many remain partially implemented due to slow and onerous procedures that burden local people. Recognition tools and processes must be accessible and implementable by rightsholders, and recognition of rights must remain central in post-pandemic development agendas.
26 1400 3_ntfp-ep_regional customary tenure & cso forum
This document discusses increasing customary and collective forest tenure in the Mekong region through a regional policy framework. It begins by defining forest tenure and customary rights. It then describes a regional workstream led by participating organizations to strengthen customary tenure rights through national alliances in Cambodia, Lao PDR, Myanmar and Vietnam. The objectives are to develop a common understanding of customary forest tenure, address contradictions in policies, and develop guidelines for customary forest tenure principles, processes, roles and responsibilities. A regional framework could complement bright spots in national policies, slow deforestation, and strengthen forest governance and indigenous participation.
