Innovations in Multifunctional Landscape Governance: Collaborative and Deliberative Approaches
Session 19
Multifunctional landscapes provide essential ecosystem services, including biodiversity conservation, food production, climate regulation, and cultural heritage preservation. However, governing these landscapes effectively requires navigating sectoral boundaries, integrating diverse stakeholder and citizen perspectives, and fostering inclusive decision-making in landscape planning and management.
This session explores innovative governance approaches that support multifunctional landscapes, focusing on both collaborative models (e.g., biosphere reserves) and deliberative citizen engagement methods (e.g., deliberative mini-publics). Through case studies and interactive discussions, we will examine the strengths and limitations of these approaches in enhancing legitimacy, inclusivity, and transformative change in landscape governance.
The session is of relevance to policymakers, researchers, practitioners, and community stakeholders interested in advancing inclusive governance for sustainable landscapes.
