Key points
- Supply-side: Producers including businesses, social enterprises, community organisations, smallholders, and landholders adopt sustainable practices as part of profitable, inclusive and replicable business models and bankable investment opportunities;
- Demand-side: Governments, companies and value chain actors adopt mandatory or voluntary sustainable and equitable sourcing practices that incentivise sustainable practices; and aggregate and empower smallholders; and
- Enabling Conditions: Governments, companies and other actors foster positive enabling environments, reforms, standards, accessible market infrastructure and governance arrangements conducive for crowding-in investment, addressing smallholder development needs. Over the longer-term and through interactions with other IFSLU2 Components, the Intermediate Outcomes will lead to the following systemic Outcomes:
- forest landscapes transformed into forest positive and climate-resilient systems that meet local development needs;
- increased private investment in sustainable forestry and land use;
- increased support and share of sustainable investment reaching smallholders;
- increased global market for deforestation-free agricultural commodities; and
- complementary policy actions implemented by consumer and producer countries. These systemic Outcomes will lead to the following Impacts:
- forests and ecosystems protected and restored in forest landscapes and across relevant industries and value chains;
- finance mobilised in support of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and forest country Nationally-Determined Contribution (NDC) and National Adaptation Plan (NAP) implementation;
- jobs created, incomes increased, capacity strengthened and enhanced ability to adapt to the impacts of climate change (both rapid shocks and slow onset stressors) in rural economies of supported countries; and
- transformational change, aligning the land use sector with the SDGs and the Paris Agreement Targets.
