Synopsis (short abstract) The global agenda for sustainable development, climate action and natural resource management intersect at a landscape scale. In forest landscapes, land-use planning can help to find as balance among competing and sometimes contradictory uses. FAO, and UN Environment, are convening a technical discussion that aims to: • Identify the enabling factors for cross-sectoral consensus-building for land-use planning; • Highlight the triggers that accelerate land-use planning to achieve transformational change across forest landscapes; • Explore the international frameworks that are driving multipurpose land-use planning; • Extract lessons for scaling-up multipurpose land-use planning best practices; • Highlight tools for successful implementation of land-use planning to reduce deforestation and share best practices. ©FAO 2018 xxxxxx/x/xx.18

    Land-use planning is increasingly being recognized as a central part of the formulation and implementation of strategies to reduce deforestation and forest degradation, contributing to both climate change mitigation and adaptation. Conflicting interests and competition over land and resources have been major driving forces of forest conversion, with increasing pressure due to population growth, degradation of lands, economic interests and, not least, the impact of climate change.
