Building up Land Concession Inventories – The Case of Lao PDR Available in English Nike Affeld Foreign investment in land is a particularly clear trend in Laos. The population all too frequently loses out as a result of this development. Since 2007, data on the extent and effects of the investments in land has been collected as part of a project supported by GIZ. This publication compiles the results and highlights the potential consequences. It therefore contributes to increasing transparency in this field. lia, the delegates will discuss different ways of implementing sustainability. At the heart of the conference are the workshops, which offer space for exchanging ideas and forming new networks. The series is being supported by several strong partners: the United Nations University, the World Business Council for Sustainable De- velopment and the Sustainable Development Solutions Network. Change begins in the mind. The United Nations Post-2015 Development Agenda is designed to anchor sustainable action in the minds of every person across the globe. How can a process like this succeed? Where should we start? What can we learn from each other? And how can we en- sure that actors in politics, business, academia and civil society all pull together? These are the central questions behind a new, international conference series that will take place every two years in Bonn. It will bring together all those who are committed to changing the world: peo- ple from companies, research institutions, banks, international cooperation, civil society, culture and the media.
