ANGOC Statement on Protecting Land Rights and Ensuring Food Security in the Time of COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed many of our underlying fragilities and risks as a people – a heartless economy with widening inequities, destruction of our environment, unjust distribution of land and natural resources for shelter and livelihood, growing pollution and congested cities, the lack of basic access to food and nutrition, and the absence of universal health care, all amidst our planet’s growing vulnerability to the impacts of climate change.
This situation led the members of the ANGOC Network to express, through this Joint Statement, our reflection on the issues and demand for immediate actions to resolve the systemic inequities that render people susceptible to the effects of global crises such as this pandemic.
