Commonland is a not-for-profit organisation based in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. We bring people together to restore degraded landscapes in over 23 countries across various continents. With our holistic approach to landscape restoration - the 4 Returns Framework – our aim is that landscape stakeholders can work with nature towards creating Inspiration (hope and purpose), Social, Natural and Financial returns.
Commonland’s vision is to secure our collective future on planet earth, and to learn to live in harmony with nature. To do this, we have to change the system – shifting from short-term gains to long-term prosperity, from an economic model that maximises profit at the expense of the environment to one that protects, restores, and strengthens it for future generations. Since 2013, Commonland works with a diverse range of partners to facilitate and drive the uptake of holistic landscape restoration on a global scale. Together, we’re aiming to restore 100 million hectares of degraded land by 2040.
