At the 2015 Global Landscapes Forum held in Paris, alongside COP21, the International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT), the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), and the CGIAR Research Program on Water, Land and Ecosystems (WLE) a high-level panel on gender, landscapes and land-tenure.
