FAO and FCLP join forces on land tenure accountability: turning global commitments into measurable progress
07/08/2026
Land tenure commitments are only as strong as the frameworks that track them. This simple truth sits at the heart of a new collaboration between FAO and FCLP, who are joining forces to design the monitoring methodology and reporting framework for the Intergovernmental Land Tenure Commitment.

Welcome to the new Forest Monitoring blog section — a dedicated space to share experiences, innovations and lessons learned from across the global forest monitoring community. We welcome blog posts that explore innovative, technology-driven solutions for forest monitoring; inclusive capacity development approached; improved collection, analysis and reporting of forest data; and actions that accelerate protection, restoration and sustainable use of forests through evidence-based decision making.
