| Description LD1 workshop: Boosting investments in landscape restoration; how to build a pipeline of investable projects? (Aula Magna) |
Rationale
An increase in investment is required to restore all of the world’s degraded lands. The available public funding will not suffice to bring land restoration to the required scale. Yet, increasingly private parties are actively investing in land restoration and significant experience on viable investment options has accumulated. At the same time, in an effort to attract private investors to invest in land restoration the UNCCD developed the Land Degradation Neutrality (LDN) Fund. This LDN fund was launched by the UNCCD Global Mechanism and MIROVA in September 2017 and will finance sustainable land management and land restoration projects worldwide. With an initial capitalization target of $300 million, and more than $100 million already raised, the LDN fund is expected to become operational later in 1Q2018.
Structure
This session is organised to promote an exchange of ideas, lessons and experiences and is structured as follows:
First, UNCCD and MIROVA will inform the audience about the LDN Fund.
Next, Commonland, ISRIC World Soil Information and Wageningen Environmental Research (WEnR) will share their experiences with various aspects of ongoing land restoration and investment efforts.
These introductions will then be followed by an open discussion on the challenges and opportunities for investment in land restoration.
Contributions
- Simone Quatrini (UNCCD) – Objectives and history of the LDN Fund: how does the science behind land degradation neutrality translate into the LDN Fund?
- James Rawles (MIROVA) – Future of the LDN Fund: what type of investments are asked for and what criteria will be used to be eligible to apply for the LDN Fund?
- Simon Moolenaar (Commonland) – Business-driven landscape restoration with 4 returns on investment (return of inspiration and of social, natural & financial capital)
- Angeles NN, Erik van den Elsen (WEnR) – Lessons learned from CASCADE: tipping points and smart decision making based on dryland restoration research
- Jan de Leeuw (ISRIC), with contributions from the other presenters in this workshop – Information needs to support sound land restoration investment decisions
Breakout group discussion and recommendations: challenges and opportunities for developing investable landscape restoration business cases in partnerships
In the last part of this workshop participants will be joining breakout groups in order to brainstorm about constructive advice to the LDN fund: what needs to be done or avoided and what information and expertise should be considered to ensure the successful implementation of the LDN fund? Each breakout group will formulate 3 key points of advice and nominate one representative who will present the advice of the breakout group.

| Workshop | “Searching for the narrative!”
How to connect sustainable use and restoration of soil and land to SDGs? What building blocks do you take home to draw up your narrative. · What is your story? · Where and with whom do you start your quest? · Do you know who can act as your super charger or your hero? · What soil and land knowledge do you need for the “knock out” in discussions? We supply cases with some examples; you give your insights and idea’s. Together we make them work. · Case Green infrastructure; how to use the land around our infrastructure to contribute to the sustainable energy? Or do you choose other options to contribute to SDGs? · Case Farmers for water; how to sustainably manage your soil and contribute to good groundwater quality? · Case Unseal your court; how how to seduce citizens in “greening” their garden by taking out the tiles and thus contribute |

FIRE 4: Workshop on Fire by Pau Costa (Sala Gran)
| DESCRIPTION FIRE 4: Workshop on knowledge transfer from scientists and practitioners to children and youth. |
| The current climate change context is forcing the co-existence of society with natural hazards. Scientists and practitioners have advocated this message for years, but is society ready for it? More effective communication between scientists, practitioners and society is needed to better understand values, climate change mitigation and protection of human lives and assets. Finding the right means and channels to transfer the scientific and technical knowledge to the population is currently an important challenge.
The workshop will focus on the current communication gaps and potential solutions to transfer knowledge on natural hazard risks to society and more specifically to children and youth. Participants of the workshop will share experiences and discuss on different case studies on wildfire-related topics: forest fire risk, safety and fire ecology. The workshop is addresses to a range of profiles: scientists, practitioners, educators, journalists, etc. |
