PRIVATE SECTOR ROLE
- Identify key production landscapes and look for opportunities to engage with multistakeholder initiatives.
- Implement interventions in collaboration with stakeholders on-the-ground and in line with available resources.
- Support monitoring and evaluation efforts to assess progress and recognize, incentivize, and/or reward sustainability progress at scale.
ROLE OF OTHER ACTORS
- Leverage private sector action by developing and strengthening multistakeholder initiatives in production landscapes connected to existing commodity supply chains.
- Strengthen the tools and methodologies companies need to monitor and evaluate progress at landscape scale.
- NGOs, donors, and governments track landscapes that could become major commodity-producers to avoid leakage.
TFA ROLE
-
Support coordination and alignment between existing jurisdictional initiatives.
-
Mobilize private sector engagement in key production landscapes.
-
Showcase progress to motivate and inspire others to get engaged.
-
Bring governments into conversations to facilitate recognition of the benefits of sustainability leadership.
RATIONALE
- Jurisdictional approaches combat deforestation in a production landscape as they:
- enable companies to move beyond siloed supply chain approaches; and
- demand action from many other actors to improve governance, including – the government, local communities, and civil society organizations.
CURRENT STATUS
- Progress is being made in key commodity production landscapes to establish jurisdictional initiatives in collaboration with local governments, however, these initiatives are mostly nascent and need additional capacity to self-organize, leverage partnerships and finance, and achieve scale.
- Emerging examples of private sector engagement in landscapes is starting to demonstrate the potential for engagement.
- The community is making progress towards developing environmental monitoring frameworks and progress indicators at landscape scale.
