This October, as part of the European Commission Land Data Partnership, Prindex will present its latest report, based on data collected from 108 countries. The latest global assessment of land and housing tenure security reveals alarming trends. Approximately 1.1 billion adults worldwide—23% of the adult population in 108 countries surveyed—feel insecure about their rights to property or land, with the number rising significantly over the past four years. This new report highlights a disturbing upward trend in insecurity, with the situation worsening for millions, particularly in East Asia, the Pacific, and North America.
This is the first comprehensive global study tracking tenure insecurity over time and the findings show that despite international goals outlined in the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 1.4), the world is drifting further away from securing equal rights to land and housing for all by 2030.
Join us for the report launch, followed by what promises to be a thought-provoking discussion!
In 2023, four land-sector organizations came together, with support from the European Commission, to form the European Commission Land Data Partnership. This partnership which includes the International Land Coalition (coordinating the partnership), the Land Portal Foundation, the Land Matrix Initiative, and Prindex, aims to strengthen the central role of data in securing equitable land rights for sustainable development, poverty eradication, peace and the protection of human rights.
