Our sustainability framework, applied to landscapes.

A landscape is a real place: a watershed, a mountain valley, a stretch of coast, a jurisdiction. It is the scale at which ecology, livelihoods, governance and capital actually meet. Most sustainability work claims this scale; very little of it works at it.

The landscapes here are examples: places we know, places we have presence or relationships in, places we hold a standing interest in. To each we apply our sustainability framework: a structured reading across layers, flows, cross-cutting enablers and actors. The point of including them here is not to claim them as ours, nor to suggest we are creating anything in them. It is to show how the framework reads place. The goal is to understand a landscape well enough that any intervention (ours or anyone else’s) can be honest about what is actually there.

Some of the landscapes here have active engagements attached. Others do not. That is the point. Pandion’s view of a place stands on its own; the work follows when, and if, it makes sense.
