Charting the Path Forward
The convergence of land tenure rights, climate change, women’s empowerment, and locally led adaptation underscores the interdependence of environmental and social justice. As exemplified by RESTORE, solutions must be grounded in the lived experiences of communities, with an unwavering dedication to equity and sustainability grounded by immediate needs of the communities. By prioritizing people and promoting collaboration, we can transform the challenges of climate change into opportunities for resilience, justice, and inclusivity. This paradigm shift in development world presents a pathway not only for pastoralist and Indigenous communities but also for the global pursuit of a sustainable future in the aftermath of climate change.
