 in Silas, Siaco, Country Manager, IDH, Glidea. This year's conference, Appropriately Tamed, Land, Crisis, and Resilience, focuses on the challenges that global inter-twining crisis puts to land-over-the-systems, processes, and actors. It seems to me that this year we are coming together with messages of hope, the stories of resilience from different parts of the world, but also with messages of despair, especially when we highlight the crisis and challenges millions face around the world because they have either been pushed into poverty or their governance has not done enough to live them out of poverty. It also seems to me that land rights of local communities, indigenous peoples, and landless peoples around the world will feature prominently in the land rights at this year's conference. This focus on land, crisis, and resilience is very timely because urgent and collective actions are needed if we want to leave a healthy planet behind for our children and our grandchildren. Going heavily on the Liberian experience, I will speak about the opportunities that we may be letting slip, about the windows of opportunities that may be closing. I specifically challenge the academic and private sector to step up, whether blockers are letting up or giving way for land tenure before. I urge you to join us at this year's conference so that you are also able to be a part of this, to be a very enriching and fulfilling land rights. Thank you.
