Need for a Landscape- Based Approach Challenges Deforestation, degradation and water pollution; Competing interests for land and natural resources; Growing effects of climate change; Lack of coordination. But few practical models

Elements of a Landscape Approach A process or strategy to reconcile competing land use interests; Multi-stakeholder and cross-sectoral; Recognizes the multi-functionality of landscapes; Balances local needs and global development objectives; Understands trade-offs between different land management choices to identify policy options, investment and development opportunities.

Land Use Dialogues Objectives Practically test and evaluate the Landscape Approach; Create new learning model of engagement between global private sector actors and local stakeholders in key, high risk landscapes; Realize more sustainable and inclusive forms of development.

Land Use Dialogues Activities Support (or establish) pilot platforms in several countries (Brazil, Tanzania, Mozambique, Chile, Myanmar, Indonesia); Develop tangible, measurable, implementable actions for impact on the ground and among partners.

Land Use Dialogues Outcomes Create locally developed ideas and activity plans to enable implementation of international initiatives and commitments; Innovation and shared value; Enhanced learning on practical implementation of the/a landscape approach; Help companies fairly and effectively address the drivers of deforestation in their supply chain.
