Facing the Post 2015 Global Agenda: The Role of Land Governance and Land Professionals
Enemark, Stig
This paper argues that sound land governance is fundamental to achieving the post 2015 Global Agenda as set by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by all the world?s leaders at the UN Summit in September 2015. Land governance is about the policies, processes and institutions by which land, property and natural resources are managed. The operational component of land governance is the country specific land administration systems dealing with the four key functions of land tenure, land value, land use, and land development. This paper presents an overall understanding of role of land governance and land professionals in this global perspective and in support of the SDGs. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) include 17 goals that are accompanied by 169 targets and will be further elaborated through indicators focused on measurable outcomes. The goals are action oriented, global in nature and universally applicable. Targets are defined as aspirational global targets, with each government setting its own national targets guided by the global level of ambition but taking into account national circumstances.
