Landscapes for water – Scaling up locally-led climate action

Session recordingWater-smart Forest and Landscape Restoration Tool​

Water-centered and locally-led actions are essential to achieve SDG targets on climate and healthy ecosystems on land as well as the goals set out in countries’ Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and the Global Goal on Adaptation (GGA).

Local communities are on the frontlines of climate change impacts and have a leading role in managing natural resources. When landscapes are managed sustainably through holistic and inclusive approaches, they can provide a wealth of ecosystem services that are vital for climate change adaptation and mitigation. These services include water regulation and provision, habitat provision for biodiversity and maintenance of carbon stocks.

This session will focus on best-practices, tools, and local initiatives that strengthen climate action and water resilience across landscapes, followed by a discussion on how they can be upscaled and systematically incorporated into global and national processes.
