On December 13, PIM and CIFOR co-organized a workshop titled “Common benefits: Is community tenure facilitating investment in the commons for inclusive growth? ” at IFPRI in Washington, D.C. This research was also featured at the session titled “Opportunities and lessons learned to enhance and accelerate recognition of community land rights” on December 20 at the Global Landscapes Forum in Bonn, Germany.
