Overview "Energy and Landscape"
- Explaining the Landscape Approach
The Landscape Approach[1] is a framework for the management of land and land-uses in a integrated and holistic fashion. The genre of “landscape approaches” arose in response to the trade-offs that need to be made between conservation and development tradeoffs. The landscape approach recognises the need to address the priorities of people who live and work within the landscapes concerned even when they conflict with the traditional goals of conservation. Non-alignment between these two sets of objectives has historically posed a problem with no clear definitive formulations.
The approach recognises that prevailing jurisdictional boundaries and fragmented administrative systems are mismatched with the multifunctionality of landscapes. At its heart, the framework strives to move beyond this segregated land administration, which fails to acknowledge the profound interconnections and mutual interests that exist between land uses. Land governance can only be optimised if governing structures match the sets of overlapping ecological, socio-cultural and economic networks that constitute a landscape, with decision-making moving from hierarchical silos to complex, adaptive and inclusive network structures.
- What is the GLF?
The Global Landscapes Forum (GLF) is a movement that puts communities first in addressing landscape-level issues. Having connected 3,000 organizations and 25,000 people through summits in Warsaw, Lima, London, Paris, Marrakech and Jakarta, along with a further 32 million online, the GLF has become the world’s largest science-led platform on sustainable land use.
With science and traditional knowledge at the core, GLF outreach, events and projects are designed not only to spark dialogue, but also follow-through to impact in addressing some of the most complex and multi-stakeholder problems facing our earth and our communities.
Recognizing the multitude of diverse objecties found in landscapes - food, livelihoods, health, energy, biodiversity, business development, trade, climate regulation and water - and the need for holistic approaches, the GLF is founded on four principles, aiming to engage 1 billion people: connecting, sharing, learning and acting.[2]
