Landscape Capital

Impact

Our Impact

Landscape Capital’s mission is to accelerate the transition to the renewable economy by investing in natural climate solutions at scale. But we also recognize that such solutions can address a wide array of other societal challenges. There is a growing recognition of the need for integrated solutions to some of this century’s most pressing challenges: unsustainable land use, biodiversity loss, and human security, health and well-being. Natural climate solutions (NCS) can deliver on these fronts too.

However, delivering on the promise of natural climate solutions requires changes in how we manage land and forests at truly massive scales. The billions of dollars of new capital we hope to invest into rural landscapes also risks dislocation, displacement of vulnerable rural communities and harm to biodiversity. The global NCS project will fail if it runs counter to the needs and interests of rural peoples; inclusion is not just a moral imperative, it’s also a pragmatic business imperative.

We are committed not only to contributing to the fight against global warming, but to acting in accordance with local laws and regulations, in line with best international practices, and with the full consultation and support of local communities. We also believe that our investments must serve to protect and promote biodiversity. These are core principles of who we are and how we operate.
