Jóvenes de diferentes partes del mundo tuvieron la oportunidad de converger en Jordania para el Global Land Forum 2022, un espacio llevado a cabo en mayo 2022 para abordar los problemas de tierras más apremiantes para el país y la región anfitriona. Este foro funciona como un catalizador para desarrollar una visión y un plan de acción para la gobernanza de la tierra basada en prioridades locales, nacionales y regionales.

 

En el evento organizado por la International Land Coalition (ILC), participaron dos miembros del capítulo YPARD peruano, Marcelita Ponce de León, Representante Nacional Perú y Juan David Caro, Miembro del Área de representación de YPARD-Perú.  Ambos fueron parte de foros, ponencias, mesas de diálogo y talleres en temas relacionados a los retos, luchas, soluciones y estrategias pertinentes a la gobernanza de la tierra, además de debates sobre los derechos, desafíos y soluciones actuales para las juventudes en toda su diversidad mujeres, pueblos indígenas, afrodescendientes, pastores, pescadores, agricultores familiares, campesinos, las y los no-poseedores de tierra.

Para Ponce de León, el foro fue una oportunidad clave para identificar temas en común con la ILC. “YPARD puede contribuir a la plataforma desde su experiencia en lo que ya viene trabajando y a su vez puede abrir nuevos caminos en otros temas como la gobernanza de la tierra en entornos rurales, pues es algo esencial para asegurar la sostenibilidad de las comunidades en base a actividades extractivas sostenibles”, comenta. 

 

Durante el Global Land Forum 2022 se realizó por primera vez del Global Land Forum Youth, donde Caro tuvo una participación activa como miembro del comité de redacción de la declaratoria de GLFY. El objetivo de este nuevo espacio es llegar a acuerdos sobre una Declaración de las y los jóvenes del foro, que contenga las prioridades de las juventudes rurales, su problemática y propuestas de soluciones y  exigencias que se buscará sea llevada a la próxima COP 27. 

 

“Este proceso me permitió mejorar mis fortalezas como líder, aprender de cada una de los y las jóvenes que estuvieron presentes fue algo muy enriquecedor, poderoso y alentador ya que se sienten las mismas ganas que tenemos las personas que pertenecemos a YPARD de transformar la realidad en que vivimos, para tener un mundo más justo”, dice Caro. 

 

La experiencia en Jordania también fue una excelente oportunidad para abrir puertas a nuevas alianzas que permitan a YPARD, en especial nuestra red para América Latina y el Caribe - YPARD LAC,  hacer incidencia desde la juventud en temáticas de gran importancia para la región como la agroecología y sistemas alimentarios sostenibles, la lucha contra el cambio climático y la promoción de la agricultura familiar, entre otros.

YPARD present at the Global Land Forum 2022

 

June 22, 2022

Youth from different parts of the world converged in Jordan for the Global Land Forum 2022, held in May 2022. The event intended to address the most pressing land issues for the hosting country and region. This forum functions as a catalyst to develop a vision and roadmap for land governance based on local, national and regional priorities.

 

The event, organized by the International Land Coalition (ILC), was attended by two members of our Peruvian Chapter, Marcelita Ponce de León, Country Representative, and Juan David Caro, Member of the Representation Area.  During the event both ypardians were part of forums, presentations, roundtables and workshops on issues related to challenges, struggles, solutions or strategies in relation to land governance, as well as debates on the rights, challenges and current solutions for youth in all their diversity: women, indigenous peoples, afro-descendants, shepherds, fishermen, family farmers and non-landowners. 

 

For Ponce de Leon, the forum was a key opportunity to identify potential efforts in common within ILC's work. "YPARD can contribute to the platform from its experience in what it is already working on and can also break new ground on other issues such as land governance in rural environments, which is essential to ensure the sustainability of communities based on sustainable extractive activities," she says. 

 

The Global Land Forum 2022 also held the first Global Land Forum Youth, where Caro played an active role as a member of the drafting committee for the GLFY declaration. The objective of this new space is to reach agreements on a Global Land Forum Youth Declaration containing the priorities of rural youth, their problems and proposals for solutions and demands to be taken to the next COP 27. 

 

"This process allowed me to improve my skills as a leader, learning from each of the young people who were present was very enriching, powerful and encouraging because you feel the same desire that we, ypardians, have to transform the reality in which we live to have a fairer world," says Caro. 

 

The experience in Jordan was also an excellent opportunity to open doors to new partnerships that will allow YPARD, especially our network for Latin America and the Caribbean - YPARD LAC, to advocate for youth on issues of great importance for the region such as agroecology and sustainable food systems, the fight against climate change and the promotion of family farming, among others.

As the countdown to COP gathers pace – with just 80 days now remaining until the United Nations hosts its 27th Climate Change Conference – a coalition of leading international food organisations including SNV, has announced its plans to host the first ever Food Systems Pavilion.

The Food Systems Pavilion brings together over 15 international leaders in the food space spanning the public, private and not-for-profit sectors, from farmers and youth to policy makers and scientists. This diversity of expertise and perspectives sets it apart from other coalitions, with co-hosts and partners committing to work collaboratively to tackle trade-offs, showcase solutions and overcome barriers.

During 2021, YPARD worked actively in the engagement, education and involvement of youth in agriculture. With 26 webinars, 22 live meetings, 88 written pieces and more than 2300 attendees from all the world YPARD is spreading news, events, opportunities and knowledge to bring youth together and work forward more sustainable food systems.

All our chapters and regions have worked hard to accomplish YPARD’s goals!
