| Summary: | Through the Sustainable Development
Goals (SDGs), the international community has recognized the
need for an approach to development that considers the
interdependence of human and natural systems. Single-sector
approaches to development challenges are insufficient to
produce sustainable landscapes that promote resilience and
help communities mitigate and adapt to climate change.
Achieving sustainable development requires stakeholders to
work together to minimize trade-offs and increase synergies
between different, and often competing, sector-focused
goals. Integrated land use initiatives offer a holistic
approach to addressing complex environmental and development
challenges. This approach seeks to sustainably manage
multiple land uses across landscapes, considering both the
natural and human systems that depend on them. The objective
of this report is to take stock of lessons learned, document
best practices from a range of integrated land use
initiatives, facilitate knowledge sharing, and provide a
guide for practitioners who are looking to implement this
approach. This report provides a basic toolkit for
practitioners and raises awareness of the cutting-edge work
happening in this space. |
