The UNECE Working Party on Land Administration workshop "Ensuring tenure security after natural and man-made disasters" was organized in Madrid on 2 and 3 November 2023 by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe Working Party on Land Administration (UNECE WPLA) and the Spanish Land and Business Registrars Association, under the umbrella of the Spanish Presidency of the EU Council. 

The workshop shared experiences and good practices from countries of the UNECE region and beyond in securing land and housing tenure after natural and man-made disasters, especially the relevant legal, geospatial, and economic aspects.

The workshop discussed how geospatial information can be linked more effectively to legal information associated with land and property ownership and how different countries promote the use of digital solutions to support sustainable and resilient urban development, and the legalization and improvement of informal settlements.
