Carbon Finance as a Catalyst for Integrated Landscape Transformation
Landscapes need diverse sources of finance to build integrated investment strategies that support their vision for transformation. Carbon finance provides a range of opportunities to support landscape-scale action. However, the complexity and credibility of land use methodologies, instability of prices, and traditional approaches to carbon finance have limited its ability to play catalytic roles within landscape-scale interventions.
In the final installment of our three-part series on integrated landscape finance mechanisms, the 1000 Landscapes for 1 Billion People initiative will bring together industry experts and landscape practitioners to discuss successful strategies and challenges of leveraging carbon finance in an integrated landscape context.
