Scaling Climate Solutions Through Landscape And Bioregional Regeneration
Co-organized by: Climate-KIC and 1000 Landscapes for 1 Billion People
Featuring: Commonland, Dark Matter Labs, EcoAgriculture Partners, IIED, Latin America Model Forest Network, Rainforest Alliance, REOS Partners, UNDP
Session Description
As the world grapples with the interconnected crises of climate change, food and water insecurity, biodiversity loss, ecosystem destruction, poverty and land degradation, the need for innovative and unified solutions has never been more urgent. Traditional, fragmented approaches to these challenges, often isolated and uninformed by local contexts, have proved insufficient. However, fresh hope is emerging through long-term, locally led landscape partnerships in which stakeholders across the landscape – farmers, agribusinesses, local governments, environmental NGOs and community organisations – jointly pursue transformation to a regenerative future for their economy, people, and nature.
This session will profile global/local initiatives focused on landscape and bioregional nature regeneration and sustainable development, currently being delivered through members of the Systemic Climate Action Collaborative and 1000 Landscapes for 1 Billion People, with others. Their aim is to lay the foundations for scaling the effective use of integrated landscape management (ILM), regenerative agriculture and bioregioning through landscape partnerships. These approaches can help local and global stakeholders to achieve their shared visions of thriving communities, healthy nature, and regenerative economies, and to mobilise funding for transformation at the scale needed to meet climate neutrality targets.
Discussions will explore financial innovations that focus on maximising funding flows for the speed and scale of transformation needed, catalytic prototypes in landscape-scale transformations, collective learning, methodologies, tools and delivery strategies. The session will be an opportunity for funders and implementers to learn more about these initiatives and convene for a critical discussion on how to engage with and support holistic and systemic approaches to landscapes, land use, regenerative agriculture, and forestry.
