Climate change is not just a global issue, but a local and regional reality. Action is needed at all levels, and the integration of landscape conservation strategies and the natural solutions the landscape conservation community can implement at scale must be considered and supported as part of the climate solution to mitigate and adapt to our changing climactic conditions. 

One of the key findings from the ‘How Landscape Conservation Partnerships Are Working to Address Climate Change’ working paper is that land conservation organizations often struggle to communicate how their work impacts climate. Better data integration and tools that measure how conservation impacts climate can play a role in simplifying complex information. Applying these tools to a comprehensive communication strategy is a critical component to successfully communicate landscape conservation as a natural climate solution.
