This presentation by Landscapes for People, Food and Nature explains how integrated landscape management can be financed. It focuses on concrete ILM activities in need of finance, finance working group members, rationale for study on financing ILM, project objectives, timeline and key recommendations.

Financing strategies for integrated landscape management
1. Financing strategies for integrated
landscape management
Global Landscapes Forum
Warsaw, Poland November 16, 2013
2. Elements of integrated landscape
management
1. Shared or agreed management objectives encompass multiple benefits (the full
range of goods and services needed) from the landscape.
2. Field, farm and forest practices are designed to contribute to multiple
objectives including human wellbeing, food and fiber production, climate
change mitigation, and conservation of biodiversity and ecosystem services.
3. Ecological, social, and economic interactions among different parts of the
landscape are managed to realize positive synergies among interests and actors
or to mitigate negative trade-offs.
4. Collaborative, community-engaged processes for
dialogue, planning, negotiating and monitoring decisions are in place.
5. Markets and public policies are shaped to achieve the diverse set of landscape
objectives and institutional requirements.
3. ILM activities in need of finance
● On-farm sustainable agricultural management coordinated with other
activities in a landscape
● Landscape-scale interventions related to ecosystem protection and
restoration
● Institutions that enable landscape coordination and create incentives for
ILM
● ILM finance encompasses
● direct investment in public goods
● enabling investments
● asset investments that creates tangible value

mechanisms are sectorfocused

ways public and private

Rationale for Study on Financing ILM
8. Project Objectives
1. Improve understanding of the financial case for ILM
in a variety of contexts.
2. Improve understanding of the barriers to ILM
finance.
3. Identify strategies for public and private financing
institutions to work with landscape stakeholders to
finance ILM.
4. Mobilize dialogue with financing institutions to
improve strategies / mechanisms to support ILM.
9. Project Timeline

November
Sept-Oct
July-Aug
May
• WG
Workshop
• Scoping studies
begin
• Scoping report drafts
completed
• Case studies selected for
finance and landscape
analysis
• Draft policy brief
for GLF
• Finalize report and
policy briefs
• Develop workplan
for next steps
10. Key recommendations for climate policy
makers and program managers
1. Coordinate climate investments with those of other
relevant sectors to support ILM.
2. Design climate adaptation and mitigation programs to
support the enabling institutions required to attract
appropriate private investment to ILM.
3. Create multi-objective investment mechanisms.
4. Formulate financing strategies based on input from
landscape stakeholders.
5. Develop tools to calculate risk and return across
multiple dimensions, over time.
Editor's Notes
This is in process, still draft study, we’re looking for feedback and even for additional partnersI’m going to describe ILM and what we mean by landscape financeLPFN
the funds required to support on-farm, off-farm investments that deliver ILM’s multiple objectives and enabling institutions-sustainable agricultural management-agroforestry, conservation tillage and rotational grazing that are coordinated with other activities within the landscapes,-landscape-scale interventions related to ecosystem protection and restoration. -institutions that enable landscape coordination and create incentives for ILM (development of stakeholder planningplatforms, supportive policy and the development of product and ecosystem markets to support ILM activities. )ILM finance therefore encompasses the direct investment in public goods as well as enabling investments (funding the generation of the incentiveto invest, often by financial institutions with no expectation of financial reward) as well as asset investments (finance for an activitythat creates tangible value, mostly through loans and equity investments)
Research, strengthening3 on building the enabling environmentoutreach
First activity is to do this foundational study, ultimate we want to inflcuence finance institutions and governments
Sectors- agricultural production, watershed management, forestry, biodiversity, bio-energy, community development), and integrated investmentmodels are often seen to be risky relative to single-sector alternatives, particularly by private investors.
Including financiers and landscape stakeholders, why do they do it.
But let me start with the lead here. 5 recs for climate audience
