2. Many climate actions require landscape approach and
coordination and collective actions
▪ Implications:
o Recognize the importance of
collective action and
coordination across groups for
successful mitigation and
adaptation strategies
o Ensure that tenure insecurity
does not exclude the poor from
mitigation and adaptation
strategies
o Consider various levels of
governance in designing and
choosing mitigation and
adaptation strategies

3. Integrated landscape approaches
▪ Key aspects of an effective
landscape approach
o Evaluate progress
o Establish good governance
o Evolve from panacea solutions
o Engage multiple stakeholders
o Embrace dynamic processes
▪ Barriers to effective implementation
o Time lags
o Terminology confusion

inclusion is key for effective knowledge-sharing and
dialogue
o Procedural rules and facilitation strategies can help
mediate power relations
o Balance role of government actors to lend
legitimacy and enable follow-up action, without
controlling the process

and governance action plans at a landscape level (clustered around
watersheds, forest patches or rangelands)
