Perspectives, insights and opinions from 1000 Landscapes experts and practitioners
This year marked an exciting transition for the 1000 Landscapes (1000L) partnership as we turned years of collaboration and planning into action. Together, we developed and launched practical resources for landscape leaders, hosted webinars and events on a global stage and put the spotlight on inspiring Landscape Partnerships (LPs) worldwide. We brought together finance, policy and land management leaders and showcased the power of multi-sectoral collaboration.
Activity continues to bubble over in the world of landscape finance, systems-change finance and the many related fields of place-based investment. Together with 1000L co-convener EcoAgriculture Partners, the 1000L Finance Solutions Design Team is working to reimagine ways to fund landscape-level change, so we think it’s important to stay well-informed about the latest innovations and actors operating in this constantly evolving space.
