The Lab’s online platform is a tool to support learning and stimulate experimentation from the field. It is inspired by start-up and crowdfunding platforms to emulate their sense of community support, ease of collaboration and entrepreneurial spirit. The platform is:

Systematising the portfolio development model, allowing every idea sponsor to track their progress against the Lab’s steps;
Providing a community of practice for landscape teams to support, mentor and learn from each other in the development of their ideas; and
Offering investors an interface through which they can access concept and development progress information, and signal interest.

The Lab portfolio currently contains 12 landscape programs in priority ecoregions across Europe, Asia, Africa and Latin America. Among them 8 landscapes are being supported together with the Dutch Fund for Climate and Development (DFCD) you can access these directly here.
