Bridging decarbonization and sustainable landscape management with green financing

Featured Initiative

The Landscape Climate Collective

A membership-based organization advocating common market interests among project developers — carbon credits from a diverse portfolio of assessed, high-integrity projects rather than from any single one.

What we do
three practice areas + the approach behind them
01

Landscape Advisory

We provide strategic and technical advisory to governments, private sectors, and civil society organizations for sustainable landscape planning and management, integrating ecological priorities with financial and development strategies.

02

Carbon Asset and Liability Management

We design and implement carbon programs that contribute to national and global climate goals. Through measurable, verifiable, and transparent methodologies, we support emission reduction, carbon offset, and ecosystem restoration.

03

Landscape Impact Financing for the Environment

The Landscape Incubation Facility for the Environment assists and empowers environmental and social entrepreneurs. Eventually, LIFE will be equipped with a dedicated fund to provide financial resources for environmental and social enterprises.

Context

The climate crisis and decarbonization

The climate crisis reaches Indonesia as an economic event: drought and fire in the dry years, floods and landslides in the wet ones, and a fiscal bill for both. Decarbonization is the work of cutting emissions across power, land use, and industry fast enough — and financing it in a way the economy can carry.

Context

The landscape approach

Landscape approach is an approach that spatially and participatorily strives to balance seemingly competing goals of protection and production. Its particular challenge is financing: the multiple goals require an innovative financing structure, in most cases unique for different landscapes.

Nature-Based Resilience Growth for Post-Disaster Sumatera

Recovery in Aceh, North and West Sumatera that rebuilds the catchment as well as the settlement — restored upper-catchment forest, riparian buffers and coastal vegetation specified and financed as flood infrastructure.

Initiative

Food, Fuel, and Forest (3F)

Achieving food and energy security while conserving and restoring forests, reducing deforestation, and achieving the 2030 FOLU Net Sink target — three commitments that compete for the same land unless they are planned against one map.
