Sustainable landscapes are essential for the future we want. They provide humanity with food, health benefits, livelihoods and income, business and trade opportunities, renewable materials and energy, biodiversity conservation, fertile and productive soils, climate regulation and water security. Working toward the achievement of sustainable and low- emission development inspired by initiatives such as the Sustainable Development Goals, New York Declaration on Forests, Bonn Challenge, Aichi Targets and Paris Agreement, the second annual Global Landscapes Forum in Bonn aimed to ‘reignite the flame’ to accelerate and mobilize collective action.
