PLAAS is pleased to announce our upcoming international conference on Land, Life and Society.

A conferência bienal de pesquisa de gênero do CGIAR de 2025 será realizada de 7 a 9 de outubro de 2025 na Cidade do Cabo, África do Sul. O tema da conferência é “Acelerando a igualdade nos sistemas alimentares, da terra e da água:Impulsionando soluções por meio de evidências e aprendizado”.

The conference will bring together a diverse range of participants, including young Indigenous leaders, practitioners, and surveyors. To make the conference inclusive and truly collaborative, we will co-organize the event with youth organizations, ensuring their perspectives, priorities, and voices directly shape both the agenda and the outcomes.

Centered around the theme "Geo-Enablement for Sustainable Development," the conference highlights the importance of spatial data in tackling global challenges and advancing the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
