| Sumario: | Fragmented efforts are inadequate to address the
systemic and highly interconnected challenges of our
time. Responding effectively to runaway climate change,
environmental degradation, biodiversity loss, and the
spiralling socioeconomic crisis requires transformative
governance built on partnerships that operate across
space and time and are guided by a long-term vision for
the future. To transform governance, policy coherence is
needed across scales and over time, at local, landscape
and seascape, national, regional, and global levels.
Landscape and seascape restoration approaches that
embed shared understanding and partnership in their
design and implementation can help to foster policy
coherence and thereby enable transformative governance. The brief discusses why policy coherence is a prerequisite
for effective landscape and seascape restoration and,
in turn, how landscape and seascape restoration can
increase coherence across sectors, scales and time
by aligning ecological, social and economic goals. It
highlights the importance of gathering and sharing good
practices to support policy integration and effective
governance in landscape and seascape restoration. The
brief is intended for government actors, practitioners,
researchers, financiers, and civil society actors engaged in
landscape and seascape restoration, and offers targeted
recommendations to enable more resilient, inclusive, and
transformative outcomes.
