Transboundary landscapes initiatives at the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD) redefine conservation and development perspectives through multi-stakeholder engagement. Transboundary cooperation through agreed upon Regional Cooperation Frameworks and South-South Dialogues are essential to forging collective new solutions for mitigating governance deficits. Transboundary initiatives at ICIMOD have demonstrated that transboundary cooperation adds value to livelihoods at scale, while securing ecosystem services and enhancing both social and ecological resilience. ICIMOD’s Transboundary landscapes approach visualizes conservation and the sustainable use of natural resources at the scale of larger landscapes defined by ecosystem.
