An interactive expert brainstorming session on identifying practical pathways for achieving impact at scale
Date: Tuesday, 28 April 2020
Time: 2:00 pm CET (end planned 5pm, latest 5:30pm)
Venue: Interactive Web seminar (MS Teams Conference – link will be provided in a separate invite)
Hosts: GIZ Sector Project Soil Protection, Combating Desertification, Sustainable Land Management; Global Programme Soil protection and rehabilitation for food security (BMZ) in cooperation with the Support Project for the Implementation of the Paris Agreement (BMU)
Our Idea
Join us for an afternoon of interactive brainstorming! This web seminar will be the kick-off meeting in a collaborative exchange process on practical pathways for unlocking the climate potential within the scope of sustainable land management (SLM).
A holistic transformation of land use is crucial to enhance carbon storage in soils and avoid emissions from land degradation while fostering adaptive capacities contributing to climate protection and food security. In this first web seminar, we want to identify existing solutions and best practices for overcoming barriers and map practical pathways and entry points for linking climate protection and SLM practice.
The take-aways will be integrated into four synthesis papers, which we will share with all participants. Later in the year we intend to host an in-depth workshop event to further build on the results.
Our aim
We intend to build a network of experts and practitioners across various disciplines and facilitate longterm exchange and learning on the climate-land nexus to realize its full potential and foster implementation pathways across scales – from policies and markets to the farm level. We aim to harvest knowledge and ideas to incorporate them into GIZ sectoral and global programmes.

What to expect?
This will not be another long and exhausting online web seminar. We shortened the original full-day event and split it into parts. The kick-off web seminar is designed as an interactive expert brainstorming session. Participants will be led through consecutive thematic blocks over the course of an afternoon. Following a comprehensive overview session each participant can choose two of the four interactive Deep Dives on main barriers and challenges, which will provide expert input and a brainstorming session.
To ensure an effective working atmosphere, we will provide an appealing, varied event design with sufficient breaks for breathing, e-mails and possible other commitments. We look forward to your participation!
