This indicator is Goal 1, and is also particularly related to Goal 5, 5.a.1 (access to agricultural land) and 5.a.2 (legal framework for land governance). Tenure security also matters for Goal 2, Target 2.3 (2.3.1 and 2.3.2 addressing smallholder farmers; Target 2.4 (2.4.1 on agricultural area), to Goal 11, to indicator 11.1.1 (access to affordable housing/upgrading slums) and indicator 11.3.1 (sustainable urbanization/settlement planning). Land tenure also influences access to fisheries and is thus key to achieving Goal 14, indicator 14.b.1 to provide access to small-scale fishers and marine resources, and to Goal 15 on the sustainable use of land and natural resources (indicator 15.1.1 on forest area). Similarly, land is a significant source of conflict, and thus also matters for Goal 16 for promoting peace and inclusive societies and institutions (indicator 16.3.3 on dispute resolution mechanisms). |
