EARTH RIGHTS INSTITUTE INC

Advocacy goes hand in hand with education. How do we advocate policy implementation? Earth Rights advocates policy implementation and movement building through educational initiatives, lobbying and outreach activities. We have designed an online course and certificate training program where registered individuals and groups can learn the basics of land value capture and land tools. Our course promotes the recommendation of the United Nations Habitat II Agenda and the Vancouver Action Plan to promote the public revenue policy of Land Value Capture as a means of implementing Local Agenda 21 sustainable community plans, meeting the Millennium Development Goals, and providing much needed community services in developing nations. This program was developed under the direction of Earth Rights Institute with funding from the Global Land Tool Network, the Robert Schalkenbach Foundation, and the International Union for Land Value Taxation. For more information on this course visit Earth Rights Institute Land Value Capture Course.
Earth Rights Institute is actively pressuring legislators and governments worldwide to adopt a land value capture economic policy by establishing a significant presence with internationally recognized political committees, institutions and legislative assemblies, most prominently the United African Congress and the United Nations. Our Co-director, Alana Hartzok, is a United Nations ECOSOC NGO Representative for the International Union for Land Value Taxation and promotes the implementation of the land value capture principles advocated by Earth Rights Institute. Earth Rights Institute outreach spans three continents. We are engaged in informing the public about land value capture as a revenue policy as well as the need for re-envisioning current development models in order to end abject poverty and environmental degradation, and to promote peaceful conflict resolution.

The Network for Ecovillage Emergence and Development in the Sahel (REDES, its French acronym) is a grassroots community association dedicated to developing a mutual support network of ecovillages in the Sahel region of sub-Saharan Africa. REDES was founded in 2015 by Dr. Ousmane Pame, the former mayor of Guédé-Chantier and current president of the Global Ecovillage Network Africa. The village of Guédé-Chantier had been operated under ecovillage principles since 2007, and has since become the nucleus of REDES’ network. Since its founding, REDES has not only expanded (currently 141 villages across Senegal and Mauritania, and counting!). it now also includes collaborators and supporters from around the globe.
