Investing in resilient landscapes: LCAW 2026

Tackling climate change and nature loss demands more than project-level interventions. It requires systemic, place-based solutions that work across entire landscapes — and the investment frameworks to match.

As part of London Climate Action Week 2026, ISEAL and the Jurisdictional Action Network (JAN) brought together companies, investors and landscape leaders around one question: how do we unlock the investment that resilient landscapes need?

The message from the room was clear. Investing in landscapes is how businesses secure long-term supply, manage risk, and deliver real impact for nature and for the people who depend on it, from restored land and replenished water to stronger rural livelihoods. And no company can do it alone: it takes collective action, innovative finance, and partnerships that reach well beyond the farm.
