1 LANDSCAPE ACCOUNTING FRAMEWORK TRACKING SUSTAINABILITY OF LANDSCAPES March 2017 Scaling up investment and commodity sourcing in sustainable landscapes workshop FABIANO GODOY CRISTINA MITTERMEIER & PETE OXFORD/ILCP

2 A MODEL FOR SUSTAINABLE LANDSCAPES a landscape in which: natural ecosystems are conserved or restored; agricultural systems are productive, economically viable, sustainable and resilient to climate change; NATURAL CAPITAL SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTION BENEFITS TO PEOPLE rural livelihoods and well-being of all social groups are enhanced; GOOD GOVERNANCE local decision-making processes are inclusive, equitable and participatory; and financial mechanism is sustained SUSTAINABLE FINANCE

3 KEY OUTCOMES ALTO MAYO PERU Natural Capital REDD Project in the Alto Mayo Protected Forest 6.7 MtCO2 emissions avoided since 2008 Sustainable Production Conservation Agreements signed with 60% of local population for organic coffee. 25 riceshrimp integrated farms. Good Governance Office for sustainable investments, multistakeholder platform and grievance mechanism implemented Human well-being Improved production, income and resilience to climate change effects Sustainable Finance Public-Private partnership funding; 64% of verified carbon credits sold to the voluntary market; business model for long-term financial sustainability

5 LANDSCAPE ACCOUNTING FRAMEWORK A framework for measuring and monitoring the status and change in key indicators that collectively characterize landscape sustainability Principles of LAF A holistic view of landscape sustainability encompassing natural capital, production, governance, and human well-being Robust, credible and simple, data and perspectives to inform local stakeholders Replicable and adjustable to local circumstances and objectives Regular, consistent and informative to support adaptive management and refinement of development strategies

6 LAF APPROACH 7. Periodic review of indicators and available datasets 1. Define sustainable landscape goals or targets 2. Select landscape assessment indicators using available dataset Potential integration with - Private sector commitments - Sustainable Development Goals - Nationally Determined Contributions 6. Monitor changes over time and the impact of policy interventions 3. Compile and analyze specific data for selected indicators 5. Use outputs to guide landscape investments and adapt strategies 4. Disseminate current status and change through scorecard and dashboard

7 LAF ALTO MAYO - PERU PERU Landscape Sustainability Index

8 LAF OUTCOMES Sustainable Landscapes Rating Tool Tool to assess jurisdictional policy and governance enabling conditions for sustainable landscapes, as a means to facilitate private and public investment and other support

9 LAF MANDAILING NATAL- INDONESIA LAF INDICATOR SDG ALIGNMENT WITH SDG INDICATORS Natural Capital 1.1 Proportion of forest cover GOAL Annual change in forest area and land under cultivation (modified MDG Indicator) 1.2 Planned/unplanned fires over time GOAL Annual change in degraded or desertified arable land (% or ha) 1.3 Planned deforestation over time GOAL Ditto above 1.4 Unplanned deforestation over time GOAL Ditto above Sustainable Production 2.1 Crop yield for a range of agricultural crop types GOAL Crop yield gap (actual yield as % of attainable yield) Human Well-being Human Development Index (3.1) 3.2 Life expectancy GOAL Neonatal, infant, and under-5 mortality rates (modified MDG indicator) 3.3 Standard of living per capita expenditure GOAL GNI per capita (PPP, current US$ Atlas method) 3.4 Educational attainment literacy rate GOAL 4 Entire goal: Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and learning opportunity 3.5 Educational attainment years of schooling GOAL 4 Entire goal Human Well-being Village Potential 4.1 Proportion of population living in poverty GOAL 1 2. Proportion of population living below national poverty line, by urban/rural 4.2 Proportion of population malnutrition GOAL 2 8. Proportion of population below minimum level of dietary energy consumption 4.3 Proportion of population with health insurance GOAL Percentage of population without effective financial protection for health care 4.4 Proportion of families without power GOAL Share of the population using reliable electricity, by urban/rural

11 LAF RUPUNUNI - GUYANA INDC Maintain historical deforestation rate (0.06%/y); 48.7 MtCO 2 avoided emissions annually; Conservation of 2M ha through protected areas Low rate of illegal logging (<2% of production) Adaptation plan Mangrove restoration Use of crop variety

12 LAF JINOTEGA - NICARAGUA Coffee Community Coalition s objectives Source from a sustainable landscape; Landscape boundaries focused on coffee production; Tool to: Identify potential risks; Guide investment and Monitor impact.

13 LAF OUTPUTS - Scorecard - Dashboard - Web Mapper summary of the landscape characterization interactive and more detailed information stack of maps to understand the dynamics

14 DISCUSSION 1. What are the features that would be useful but is not present? 2. What are the potential integration with other tools (.) that would be interesting to create? 3. What are the barriers that prevent you to implement a LAF? 4. What type of guidelines would be the most useful?
