PANORAMA: Solutions for a Healthy Planet Initiative

PANORAMA – Solutions for a Healthy Planet is a unique example of a bottom-up, multi-actor, cross-sectoral initiative combining a digital platform dedicated to identify and disseminate proven solutions with offline learning, sharing resources and activities (exchange events, trainings, webinars, publications). The communities include PANORAMA Restoration, PANORAMA Species Conservation, PANORAMA One Health, PANORAMA Conservation Areas, PANORAMA Blue, PANORAMA EbA, PANORAMA Agriculture and Biodiversity, PANORAMA Business Engagement, PANORAMA Cities, PANORAMA Nature-Culture and PANORAMA Mitigation. In that way, PANORAMA is promoting replicable solutions and their uptake that demonstrate how well protected biodiversity and well managed ecosystems help address societal challenges, increase resilience and adaptation to climate change and thereby achieve development benefits.
