This white paper is part of a series presented at GLF Climate: Forests, Food, Finance – Frontiers of Change. The white paper address some of the gaps in knowledge and understanding by showcasing the initiative Collaborating to Operationalise Landscape Approaches for Nature, Development and Sustainability (COLANDS). This initiative has so far been focused on multi stakeholder consultation, building capacity to implement and evaluate integrated approaches to landscape governance, pilot testing of ILAs, and formulating global and national policy recommendations based on lessons learned.
COLANDS is supported by the International Climate Initiative (IKI) of the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and is a CIFORled consortium of partners consisting of the University of British Columbia (UBC), the University of Amsterdam (UvA), the French Agricultural Research Centre for International Development (CIRAD), and local and political partners in the countries of implementation.
