Short extract:
We’re excited to share with you the latest news, science, and policy updates from The Nature Conservancy’s Development by Design global program. Development by Design is focused on smarter land-use planning as central to meeting development needs and ensuring the health of lands, waters, and the climate for future generations. Our work is rooted in peer reviewed science, policy, partnerships, and knowledge-sharing. We work collaboratively to drive integrated landscape-scale solutions that are better for nature, communities, climate, and the economy.
We hope this platform can contribute to the expanding dialogue and growing opportunities for advancing sustainable development.
