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.

The new PANORAMA web platform, based on a user-centric approach particularly for conservation practitioners, was launched in March 2024. (www.panorama.solutions)
PANORAMA’s role in supporting knowledge management for implementation of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) was highlighted during a CBD webinar in November 2023. (panorama.solutions/…)
At UNFCCC COP28 in Dubai, PANORAMA hosted a discussion on solutions for biodiversity and climate. Speakers from across the initiative explored effective solutions showcased on the platform. (panorama.solutions/…)
A paper on inclusive conservation, based on the synthesis of 263 solutions featured on the PANORAMA platform, was published in the journal Ecology and Society. (panorama.solutions/…)
Collaboration between PANORAMA and the IKI Small Grants Programme facilitated knowledge sharing and exchange for grassroots organizations, with a focus on capacity development and networking opportunities. (panorama.solutions/…)
By December 2023, the PANORAMA web platform included 1,411 solutions.
PANORAMA methodology was central to a “Knowledge sharing journey”, bringing over 55 grantees together for a 6-day workshop led by the Biodiversity and Protected Areas Management Programme (BIOPAMA) and Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services in Territories of European Overseas Programme (BEST).
