    The legal framework and effective land rights in the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT) are highly unstable. Recent escalations in hostilities, displacements, and property destruction have exacerbated this instability. Securing land rights is essential for establishing peace, stability, and resilience during reconstruction. This brief, drawing from a historical perspective, evaluates the land tenure situation in the OPT and recommends specific measures and actions to document, register, and secure housing, land, and property rights. These steps are crucial for restoring rights, securing livelihoods, and rebuilding the economy.

    In November 2017, the sociopolitical crisis in Cameroon’s North-West and South-West regions escalated into armed conflict between government forces and separatist groups. This led to widespread insecurity, displacement, and economic disruption. Many people fled to Nigeria or sought refuge in forests and nearby towns. Schools and clinics were shut down, and agricultural activities were severely affected, with farmers unable to cultivate land and crops destroyed. Although the situation has stabilized somewhat after six years, the crisis continues to have a significant impact on the region’s economy, education, and healthcare systems.

    FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022
    The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.

    What will be needed to realize the vision of a world free from hunger and malnutrition? After shedding light on the nature of the challenges that agriculture and food systems are facing now and throughout the 21st century, the study provides insights into what is at stake and what needs to be done. “Business as usual” is not an option. Major transformations in agricultural systems, rural economies, and natural resources management are necessary. The present study was undertaken for the quadrennial review of FAO’s strategic framework and for the preparation of the Organization Medium-Term plan 2018-2021.
