Improving Governance of Tree Crop Landscapes for Resilient Green Economies, Climate Change and Sustainable Environmental Services

The Landscapes theme aims to enable transformative change in the delivery of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) at global, national and landscape scales. This is achieved through knowledge and evidence-based innovations in the value chains of key tree-based commodities, and in the functioning of landscapes in which these tree commodities are produced.

Sub-themes

  • Tree-crop landscapes and environmental services
  • Tree-crop landscapes and climate change
  • Tree-commodity landscapes and green economies
  • Governance, policies and institutions for greening tree-crop landscapes

Outcomes

  • Increased tree-crop productivity by at least 50% for 5-10 million smallholder farmers in the humid and sub-humid tropics;
  • Incomes of tree-crop commodity farmers doubled for at least 10 million farmers;
  • At least 20 tree commodity plantation companies adopt and integrate sustainable intensification practices at farm and landscape scales in 5 countries;
  • At least 10 sub-national level jurisdictions adopt and implement sustainable landscape approaches;
  • An open access transdisciplinary knowledge hub for powering the transformation of tree commodities in the SDG agenda;
  • A monitoring hub for tree-crop contributions to SDGs at multiple levels (global, regional, national and sub-national/landscape level)
