Green Livelihoods Alliance - Forests for a Just Future

The Green Livelihoods Alliance (2021 - 2025) is an alliance of Gaia Amazonas, IUCN NL, Milieudefensie, NTFP-EP, SDI and Tropenbos International, with Fern and WECF as technical partners.

The Green Livelihoods Alliance (GLA) Forests for a Just Future programme aims to ensure that tropical forests and forest landscapes are sustainably and inclusively governed to mitigate and adapt to climate change, fulfil human rights and safeguard local livelihoods.


In eleven countries in South America, Africa and Asia, as well as internationally, the Alliance works with Civil Society Organisations (CSOs), Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IP&LCs) and social movements to:

  • increase the participation of IP&LCs in policy and decision-making regarding land rights and forest governance

  • strengthen lobby and advocacy to hold governments and industries accountable for deforestation and human rights violations.
