Global Program for Sustainable Landscape

The purpose of the Global Program is to consolidate lessons-learned in country programs and to develop solutions to mobilize finance for the restoration and protection of forest landscapes. The Global Program on Sustainable Landscapes aims to utilize GGGI’s existing programs and expertise to develop solutions, models and provide advisory services towards the ‘development of innovative financing mechanisms’ for sustainable landscapes. The approach will document past and on-going programs to develop a toolkit of solutions that can be expanded to meet global forest restoration and protection targets. GGGI’s niche will be conceptualizing, structuring, and mobilizing investment for the restoration and protection of sustainable forest landscapes. The Global Program builds on our strengths and utilizes skills and lessons learnt from existing projects. The Global Program will focus on the development of socially inclusive financial mobilization tools for sustaining and restoring forests. This has been identified as a niche where we are more likely to be competitive with other development partners who have more technical personnel in countries at the ground level.
