On May 12, the International Center for Community Land Trusts hosted a roundtable exploring key lessons from the Global South CLT Initiative.

Bringing together practitioners and partners from Brazil, South Africa, Portugal, and the Philippines, this session reflected on how CLT approaches are being interpreted, adapted, and applied across diverse territorial contexts. Drawing on two years of collaboration and a recent peer exchange in Rio de Janeiro, speakers shared concrete experiences from their work and the challenges they are navigating.
