Green Livelihoods Alliance 2 - Forests for a Just Future The Green Livelihoods Alliance (2021 - 2025) is an alliance of Gaia Amazonas, IUCN NL, Milieudefensie, NTFP-EP, SDI and Tropenbos International, with Fern and WECF as technical partners. The Green Livelihoods Alliance (GLA) aims to ensure that tropical forests and forest landscapes are sustainably and inclusively governed to mitigate and adapt to climate change, fulfil human rights and safeguard local livelihoods. In twelve countries in South America, Africa and Asia, as well as internationally, the Alliance works with Civil Society Organisations (CSOs), Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPLCs) and social movements to: - increase the participation of IPLCs in policy and decision-making regarding land rights and forest governance - strengthen lobby and advocacy to hold governments and industries accountable for deforestation and human rights violations. A crucial prerequisite is to ensure the operational space and security of IPLC leaders, CSO activists, women’s rights and environmental and human rights defenders (EHRDs).
The programme is implemented by the Green Livelihoods Alliance (GLA), formed by Milieudefensie (Alliance lead), Gaia  Amazonas, IUCN National Committee of the Netherlands (IUCN NL), Non-Timber Forest Products-Exchange Programme (NTFP-EP  Asia), Sustainable Development Institute (SDI), Tropenbos International (TBI), and two technical partners: (i) Fern and (ii)  Women Engage for a Common Future (WECF), working in partnership with the Global Forest Coalition (GFC). The programme  is funded by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs Directoraat Generaal Internationale Samenwerking (DGIS) through the DSO  Power of Voices policy framework, in partnership with the Inclusive Green Growth (IGG) department. The programme responds  to the Dutch commitment to contribute to the SDGs, particularly SDG13 (climate action) and SDG15 (life on land).
Green Livelihoods Alliance 2 Cameroon Cameroon boasts a huge variety of flora and fauna, spread over about 20 million hectares of tropical rainforest. About four million people live in and around these forests, including a large percentage of indigenous people such as the Baka and Bagyeli. The forest is part of the second largest rainforest in the world, through which the great Congo River flows. It plays a key role in combating dangerous climate change.

But the forests in Cameroon are under severe threat. Investments in logging, industrial agriculture and mining are increasing as well as deforestation. By 2020, Cameroon lost 100,000one hundred thousand hectares of rainforest. Land rights of indigenous and local communities are not formally recognized. Land grabbing and other human rights violations by large corporations in the timber or agriculture sectors are commonplace. Forest activists who stand up for these rights are subject to intimidation, threats or violence. Over the past five years we have put a halt to new plantations and logging permits. For example, the Ebo forest was protected from logging, saving 130 hectares of rainforest. In the coming years, Cameroon’s GLA program aims to increase and strengthen the influence and rights of indigenous peoples and local communities. We advocate for a methodology to represent them in corporate and political processes that deal with land and natural resources. The base is proper monitoring by local forest-, and human rights activists to document violations. On top of this, we will continue to campaign nationally and internationally for greater recognition and protection for indigenous and local people, and engage in resistance or use grievance procedures for redress in cases of (human) rights violations and deforestation.
Green Livelihoods Alliance 2 - Regional/International/Thematic programme Our work at the regional and international level seeks to contribute to the long-term objectives of all three pathways in the Theory of Change: A. IPLCs sustainably govern increased areas of forest; B. Governments and agro-commodity, extractives, energy and infrastructure sectors no longer drive deforestation and address citizens’ concerns to protect forests and human rights; C. Citizens enjoy human and women’s rights and safely participate in social movements. (Language: English) 
The programme is implemented by the Green Livelihoods Alliance (GLA), formed by Milieudefensie (Alliance lead), Gaia  Amazonas, IUCN National Committee of the Netherlands (IUCN NL), Non-Timber Forest Products-Exchange Programme (NTFP-EP  Asia), Sustainable Development Institute (SDI), Tropenbos International (TBI), and two technical partners: (i) Fern and (ii)  Women Engage for a Common Future (WECF), working in partnership with the Global Forest Coalition (GFC). The programme  is funded by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs Directoraat Generaal Internationale Samenwerking (DGIS) through the DSO  Power of Voices policy framework, in partnership with the Inclusive Green Growth (IGG) department. The programme responds  to the Dutch commitment to contribute to the SDGs, particularly SDG13 (climate action) and SDG15 (life on land). Key strategies that we will use towards these outcomes are collaborative lobby and advocacy with IPLCs towards international (e.g. UNFCCC, CBD, OECD, UN Human Rights Commission (UNHRC), UN special mechanisms) and regional policy making bodies (e.g European Union, ASEAN, African Union (AU), ACHPR, IACHR, PARLASUR) as well as the Dutch government, finance, agro-commodity, extractives and energy sectors and international private sector oriented forums (e.g. GIIN, UNPRI); strengthening social movements and networks of solidarity; public awareness campaigns; and joint capacity strengthening, knowledge exchange and cross-learning, monitoring and research.
Women2030 programme The Women2030 programme is run by a coalition of 5 women's rights and gender equality organisations. Our goal is to build capacity of women's and gender civil society organisations (CSOs) and engage them in the policy processes of Agenda2030, its corresponding Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Paris Agreement on climate action, because we believe that gender equality and women's rights are crucial pillars for achieving the SDGs. To achieve these goals, we collaborate with local partners by facilitating participation in policy development and monitoring, mobilize citizen's support and sharing of best practices. In pursuit to achieve a more equitable, inclusive and sustainable development, we organize Women2030 into three programme areas:
- capacity building and strengthening of women's and gender civil society organisations 
- Policy monitoring and advocacy with meaningful participation of women from different backgrounds
- Outreach and awareness raising to promote and increase awareness about gender equality TG 1: 60 experienced member CSOs
TG 2: 200 member CSOs - women and gender-focused CSOs
TG 3: 2000 local CSO and community-based / grassroots organisations
TG 4: 10000 local women beneficiaries
TG 5: 300 Women's Major Group, Women and Gender Constituency and Women's Caucus (CBD) alliance members.
Green Livelihoods Alliance 2 Uganda Uganda covers an area of 24.1 million hectares of which 82% is mainland, 14% is open water and 4% is permanent swamp.  It is endowed with diversity of animal and plant species and ranks among the top ten most bio-diverse countries in the world. Uganda’s economy is heavily dependent on biodiversity including the fishing industry, tourism (from wildlife biodiversity), livestock industry, commercial and subsistence use of medicinal plants, and ecotourism, among others.
 
The Ministry of Water and Environment, in 2019, estimated forest cover at 12.4 per cent (or 2.9 million hectares) of its total land area, down from 4.9 million hectares in 1990, reducing due to deforestation and forest degradation. Forests contribute 7.5 percent to Gross Domestic Product and play a big role in increasing agricultural productivity, supporting livelihoods, being a backbone to the tourism industry and the combat to climate change.
 
As Uganda pursues middle income status, it is faced with vagaries of development and the associated social injustices, characterized by abuse of environment and human rights, degradation of natural resources and restrictions imposed on civic spaces.
 
The escalation of climate change impacts as forested land that regulates micro-climate is taken up by oil and gas exploitation and related infrastructure, converted into agro-commodity plantations, which reduces the resilience of communities to impacts of climate change. The other issues include trade in charcoal which accelerates deforestation in un-protected areas, power imbalances between men and women that ruins women’s enjoyment of their full rights, restrictions on civic space for environment and human rights defenders and the need to contribute towards the attainment of the National Determined Contributions.
 
The Green livelihoods alliance will work in the Albertine Graben, an ecologically diverse region of Uganda. The region has a number of challenges including oil and gas exploitation and the associated infrastructure development, increasing levels of illegal trade in forest products, interest by the state to develop hydro-power plants in an ecologically sensitive environment and expansion of agrocommodities in the region despite its ecological, tourism and trans-boundary importance. The GLA programme in Uganda has three long-term objectives i) Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities sustainably govern forest landscapes; ii) the Government of Uganda and the private sector (in extractives, agro-commodities and energy) no longer drive deforestation and degradation, protect forests and human rights and implement the NDC Work Plan to address climate change; and iii) secure civic spaces for environment and human rights defenders to secure civic space for civil society and IPLC leaders to speak out for their rights, livelihoods and the forest.
 
To achieve this, the partners will among other conduct evidence-based advocacy and lobbying that includes developing research and information generation. Use the knowledge to create and use informed social movements to reach out to duty bearers and public.
Green Livelihoods Alliance 2 Vietnam Viet Nam has a total area of 33.1 million hectares and a population of 96.2 million people, comprising 54 ethnic groups. Viet Nam GLA partners will implement the programme in the Central Highlands (CHs), an area about 400-1,500m above sea level which accounts for 16.5% of the land and 6% of the population. Despite numerous development policies, most IPLCs have poor livelihoods, unsecured and degraded forest resources, and are somewhat marginalized economically, culturally and politically. Women and girls are suffering most from the situation.

The selected landscapes are located in four of the Central Highlands: Dak Lak, Gia Lai, Kon Tum, and Lam Dong provinces with a total area of 4.85 million hectares and about 45% forest cover. Much of the land is the watershed of the Srepok River which plays an important role in local ecosystems, biodiversity, and soil and water protection for lower provinces.  At present, deforestation and forest degradation in the CHs is alarming due to agricultural expansion, illegal exploitation, and forestland conversion for other purposes . The CHs are the home of many native peoples including the Jarai, Ede, Bana, K’Ho, and M’nong. These peoples account for 26% of the total 6.2 million people of the CHs. Since 1960, the life of native peoples has been disturbed in terms of environment, culture, and livelihood due to resettlement and biased development policies. At present, IPLCs in CHs are among the poorest people in the country. Unfortunately, the current loss of the forests – the foundation of IPLC’s cultures and livelihoods – exacerbates further the hardship of native peoples. The GLA programme in Viet Nam has three long-term objectives i) IPLCs have their livelihoods sustained ecologically and economically; ii) Local authorities and businesses reduce IPLC’s forestland conversion for other purposes; iii) IPLCs including women and youth are able to participate and voice up in policy decision making process at all levels.

To achieve this, the partners will promote forest land allocation to communities, support local governments and other landscape actors in the sustainable management of their landscapes and in sustainable livelihood development, and empower IPLCs, including women and youth, to participate better in decision-making processes at the landscape and national level.
Green Livelihoods Alliance 2 Democratic Republic of the Congo There is amazing biodiversity in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. This Central African country has extensive woodland, with high importance for food security of local communities.

There are, however, armed conflicts over resources in the country, particularly in East Congo. The habitats of wildlife including gorillas, hippopotamuses and elephants have come under pressure due to these conflicts and illegal poaching. 

East Congo is rich in expensive natural resources, such as hardwood and firewood. The soil is also rich in mineral resources such as copper, coltan and oil. Armed groups regularly use violence to gain control over these natural resources. 

The Green Livelihoods Alliance has seven partner organisations in Virunga and Kahuzi-Biega, nature reserves that UNESCO recognises as natural World Heritage Sites.

Millions of people live in extreme poverty around the Virunga and Kahuzi-Biega National Park. They depend on natural resources for their livelihood. The programme aims to improve the relationship between both parties, thus working towards a win-win situation.

The Green Livelihoods Alliance furthermore strengthens local and indigenous communities that stand up against illegal poaching and fishing. We help them to prevent land expropriation and to enforce nationally and internationally recognised rights. In addition, we encourage them to join forces with park rangers to protect their areas and to show park rangers how they can focus on ways of procuring forest products and fishing in lakes with respect for the environment. The DRC programme of the Green Livelihoods Alliance focuses on the restoration, protection and sustainable management of the ecosystems in the Virunga and Kahuzi-Biega landscapes. It’s about natural resource management in a sustainable, concerted and inclusive manner, which guarantees the livelihoods of local communities and indigenous peoples and the stability of protected areas.

The programme adopts three envisaged pathways of change:

Restoring social peace and stability in the East landscape: local communities and indigenous populations in the Virunga and Kahuzi Biega landscapes are acting freely, responsibly and are reconciled. Activities to achieve this include: education of youth, women and land chiefs in sustainable management of natural resources, meetings with the traditional leaders and bringing different stakeholders in the landscape together.
Re-establishing social and environmental justice: establishment of an environmental juridical clinic providing legal support and strengthened advocacy for the restoration of state authority in the Virunga landscape, so that stakeholders adopt best practices in their daily lives, livelihoods are improved and the living conditions of the local population and indigenous populations have increased.
Assuring the sustainable use of natural resources and restoring ecosystems: benefits of protected areas should contribute to the sustainable development of local populations, stakeholders are involved in decisions making process and new alternatives are developed.
Green Livelihoods Alliance 2 Bolivia Over the past five years we have put a halt to new plantations and logging permits. For example, the Ebo forest was protected from logging, saving 130 hectares of rainforest. In the coming years, Cameroon’s GLA program aims to increase and strengthen the influence and rights of indigenous peoples and local communities. We advocate for a methodology to represent them in corporate and political processes that deal with land and natural resources. The base is proper monitoring by local forest-, and human rights activists to document violations. On top of this, we will continue to campaign nationally and internationally for greater recognition and protection for indigenous and local people, and engage in resistance or use grievance procedures for redress in cases of (human) rights violations and deforestation. The GLA programme in Bolivia seeks to influence the policies and practices of public, private and civil actors that contribute to the inclusive and sustainable management of forest landscapes, through the development of capacities for lobby and advocacy at different scales. The GLA Alliance believes that the Greater Chiquitanía can maintain its valuable ecosystems and provide the people with income, health and well-being. The GLA Alliance has built and supported a network of organisations that are now actively involved in issues related to landscape governance. The programme has mainly focused on three intervention pathways: 1) Innovation for sustainable forest management, 2) Integral management of natural ecosystems, and 3) Efficient implementation of local environmental regulations.
Green Livelihoods Alliance 2 Colombia Colombia is the second most biodiverse country on the planet, and has the privilege of being among the nine countries that share territory in the  Amazon: the largest rainforest in the world. The Amazon region in Colombia covers 44.3%, and 64 of the country’s 115 native indigenous peoples live there. This natural and cultural heritage is invaluable for humanity and yet it faces great pressures that require diverse protection strategies to maintain its biological and cultural connectivity.

Today, the Amazon region is facing a rapid transformation driven by the construction of legal and illegal routes and hydroelectric plants, as well as the exploitation of hydrocarbons and mining, agricultural activities and illegal economies. In the scenario of these pressures, forest loss stands out as one of the most pressing challenges. According to the Atlas 'Amazonia Bajo Presión' - “Amazon Under Pressure” 2020, deforestation in the region reached 511,787 km2 in the last twenty years,  (covering an area similar to the size of the continental territory of Spain), and 87.5% of this loss occurred outside Indigenous Territories and Natural Protected Areas of the Amazon.

The Colombian case is no less dramatic. For several years, Colombia has been part of the world ranking of countries with the greatest loss of forests, and in 2020 it ranked number six. In the midst of this breaking context, , the Colombian Amazon concentrates the greatest loss. For example, between 2000 and 2018, 66% of the country’s total deforestation occurred in this region, according to data from the Ideam Forest and Carbon Monitoring System.

Indigenous peoples and their knowledge systems have protected these vast territories for millennia, demonstrating that the most effective strategy to govern them, to protect the planet’s biodiversity and the health of ecosystems, is based on the traditional management derived from such systems. In Colombia,  the Forests for a Just Future Programme addresses the issue of deforestation -one of the country’s most serious environmental problems- and degradation, and unsustainable  management of forests and wooded landscapes, in a context of climate change, gender inequality and inequity, and threats to the protection of human rights, as well as rights related to territory and local livelihoods.

This project is mainly developed in the Colombian Amazon: in the Northwest Colombian Amazon also known as the deforestation arc, which covers the departments of Caquetá, Guaviare and south of Meta; and also the Northest Colombian Amazon, which covers the departments of Amazonas, Vaupés and Guainía. The project also includes some actions in the Andean region (Santander), and Bogotá, as an advocacy hub to take actions  with the National Government and State entities.
