The 2026 Global Community Land Trust (CLT) Virtual Summit is a six-week series of free online events conceived to reclaim and honor the Black and Indigenous leadership traditions that gave rise to the CLT model and continue to shape community land stewardship globally. Running from May 5 to June 10, 2026, and anchored by World CLT Day on May 15, the summit brings together CLT practitioners, residents, community activists, organizers, researchers, network leaders, partners, and allies to share experiences, reflect on practice, and advance the global CLT movement. Join one event or follow the full six-week global series.
World CLT Day is a global moment dedicated to celebrating community land trusts and connecting communities across the movement. Since its launch, it has grown into a shared opportunity to raise visibility, share stories, and strengthen collaboration worldwide.
The summit is co-hosted by the International Center for Community Land Trusts and Rondo Community Land Trust, with support from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
