With growing momentum around landscape initiatives, all stakeholders need to have a clear and unified understanding of the foundational elements that define a successful, mature landscape approach. To support this, 20 leading organisations in landscape practice, including Gold Standard, have joined forces to establish core principles that enable landscape initiatives to enhance their impact and demonstrate long-term effectiveness. Having these core principles in place can help initiatives to become: - more resilient - more attractive to investors - better placed to deliver positive social and environmental outcomes Visit our website to learn more and download the comprehensive guidance to explore these criteria, detailed sub-criteria, and six practical use cases. 🔗https://lnkd.in/eX53PGdh Thanks to all of the companies involved in the production of the Core Criteria: Better Cotton CDP Conservation International Earthworm Foundation EcoAgriculture Partners Gold Standard IDH ISEAL Kaleka Lingkar Temu Kabupaten Lestari | Secretariat LandScale Instituto Produzir, Conservar e Incluir Proforest Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) SourceUp TRANSITIONS Systemiq Ltd.

It has been great to have been part of this collective position paper - we are using the core criteria already in landscape initiatives on the ground in Indonesia and Brazil. Thanks to ISEAL for convening - an active example of how we can work together to build alignment on crucial issues

Landscape initiatives have the potential to address systemic environmental, social and economic issues at scale. This joint paper with input from #Systemic provides an easy to follow guide focused on four core elements that underpin effective landscape initiatives and how they can be used by new or existing initiatives, supply chain companies, investors, government and reporting frameworks to assess maturity and improve effectiveness.

🌍 We’re excited to share that twenty organizations, including SourceUp, have united around a new, collective vision for mature landscape initiatives! 🤝After months of collaborative discussions and valuable insights, we’ve helped shape a joint paper that lays out four core criteria that set the standard for mature landscape initiatives. This joint paper is designed to be clear and actionable, providing a roadmap that supports both new and existing initiatives, along with supply chain companies, investors, governments, and reporting frameworks in assessing maturity and maximizing impact. Curious to see what maturity looks like in landscape work? Download the paper to explore the criteria in depth: 🔗https://lnkd.in/eBXBgQSH 💡 Furthermore, the SourceUp team is actively working on a new maturity module within our platform! This feature will allow landscape initiatives to self-assess against these criteria, boosting transparency and credibility for investors. Stay tuned for more updates! #SustainableLandscapes #SourceUp #CollectiveImpact #MatureInitiatives #Transparency ISEAL

Are you curious to learn what are the four core criteria that are integral for the effectiveness of mature landscape initiatives? This new publication will give you the answers.

We are so thrilled for the launch of this amazing resource! The Nature Conservancy is proud to have contributed to the development of this guidance. This guidance provides further clarity to support engagement in landscapes (and watersheds, jurisdictions, seascapes, foodscapes) as a crucial means to drive the collective action and financing we need to ensure positive outcomes for nature and people. Landscape approaches also give us the ability to meaningfully monitor change together, rather than in silos that only give us one glimpse of the bigger picture. There are avenues for companies to support landscape initiatives that maintain the bottom-up methods needed for success, while enabling the credibility and standardized criteria that the private sector require, and this resource is one key piece. #landscapes #corporatesustainability #naturepositive

Delighted to receive the VIP membership of the Global Ambassadors of Sustainability. The Aral Wetland UNDP Funded Program for Sustainability of Protected Areas, Protect the endangered species and the tribal livelihood sustainability will enable my learning in this important domain. A few lines on the Aral Wetland Project. The Aral Wetland Project, initiated by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), aims to restore and rehabilitate the wetlands of the Aral Sea basin, which have suffered significant environmental degradation due to water diversion for irrigation and other human activities. The project focuses on sustainable land management, biodiversity conservation, and improving the livelihoods of local communities. Key objectives include restoring the ecosystem services of wetlands, enhancing water management practices, and promoting alternative livelihoods that reduce pressure on natural resources. The project also emphasizes community involvement and capacity building to ensure long-term sustainability. By addressing both environmental and socio-economic issues, the Aral Wetland Project seeks to revitalize the region's ecological health while supporting the well-being of its residents.
