Abstract:

Trade-off Analysis for Land-use Scenarios (TALaS) is based on a suite of tools that carry out ex-ante analysis of the impact of development strategies on the trade-offs between livelihoods and ecosystem services. The tool combines the use of a spatially explicit land-use-change model, a land-use profitability analysis tool as well as other tools that aim to quantify ecosystem services, that is, biodiversity, carbon and hydrological functions. TALaS is useful for exploring suitable development strategies that can balance growth in the economy and livelihoods while maintaining or enhancing ecosystem services.

LandFinanceHub is designed to facilitate the interaction between MSME which need funding with Financier that are looking for potential clients and their forestry and agriculture projects in the global south to be financed. The main objective of LandFinanceHub is to increase the flow of finance to deforestation-free commodity production and sustainable land use. The Hub also contains training materials and toolkits for the benefits of MSMEs and Financiers. The LandFinanceHub has been developed through the Green Finance For Sustainable Landscape Project which is jointly managed by United Nation Environment Program Finance Initiative (UNEP FI) and Center for International Forestry Research and World Agroforestry (CIFOR-ICRAF) with funding from the Global Environment Facility (GEF).
