LandScale & climate mitigation

Enabling high-integrity climate action through landscape-level collaboration

Enabling high-integrity climate action through landscape insights

As companies accelerate their climate commitments across agriculture, forestry, and land use (AFOLU), many are looking for credible ways to cut emissions while supporting landscapes and communities. LandScale helps close this gap by providing trusted landscape-level insights that enable high-integrity climate action and investment, while managing the complexities of carbon markets. With our work, we aim to support climate finance that aligns with local priorities, reduces displacement risks, and is accompanied by credible monitoring of social and environmental co-benefits, aligned with leading frameworks such as the GHG Protocol Land Sector Removals Standard, SBTi FLAG, SBTN, and Conservation International’s High Integrity Insetting Principles.

LandScale’s role in climate mitigation

Climate mitigation is most effective when grounded in the reality and community needs of local landscapes. LandScale facilitates collaboration between companies and landscape initiatives to deliver measurable, high-integrity climate outcomes through practical guidance and landscape assessments, including on regenerative agriculture. By providing trusted insights and data, LandScale helps direct climate-related investments that reduce risks, unlock co-benefits, and improve outcomes for people, nature, and production systems while aligning with global standards.

Enabling high-impact climate solutions

LandScale strengthens the visibility and capacity of landscape initiatives to engage with private-sector climate finance while developing services that help companies link climate investments to measurable ecological, production, and human well-being outcomes. Applying a holistic landscape perspective in identifying mitigation opportunities within, adjacent to, or beyond company supply chains, can help businesses manage displacement risks, enhance co-benefits, and support long-term collaboration with local communities.

How we support landscape initiatives

Landscape approaches to climate mitigation are gaining momentum as companies seek to reduce emissions, while de-risking supply chains, and creating co-benefits for people and nature in key sourcing areas. To support initiatives to attract investment into such outcomes, LandScale partnered with 3Keel to develop Guidance on Engaging with Climate Mitigation Projects, which provides practical principles and steps to navigate technical, social, and market considerations while embedding climate interventions within the broader landscape context. The guidance reinforces core landscape principles while adding a climate-specific lens to support informed decision-making. The guidance addresses key questions such as:

How to embed climate interventions in the landscape context and differentiate corporate claim pathways

How to engage stakeholders and communities to improve outcomes and reduce risks

How to assess feasibility, cost, and market potential

How to select suitable MRV approaches and understand trade offs

Which standards, partners, and funding sources are most appropriate
