The Brussels Chat

Informal, illuminating conversation on the centrality of an integrated approach: the day after our programme's 'Central Component' had delivered a presentation on Integrated Landscape Management to EU project managers, Kim Geheb sat down with the European Commission's Head of Environment and Mainstreaming and the Policy Officer for Land and Environment to reflect on the key takeaways from the session and the comments that had turned the most heads.

The Central Component led a session at the European Commission’s 2023 INTPA-NEAR Environment and Climate Change Week in Brussels last month. Titled ‘Common Ground’, Kim Geheb’s presentation showcased the potential and realities of Integrated Landscape Management, by showcasing examples from a number of the LFF projects.

The next day, Kim sat down with the EC’s Bernard Crabbé and Niclas Gottmann to discuss how an ILM approach can be applied across EC programming. He started by asking them each what their key impressions from the session were.  

The EC and the lens of integration

Wouldn't you like to sit down with the EU masterminds of our programme and ask them their vision and rationale for Integrated Landscape Management? Members of the Central Component did just that recently in Brussels.

Niclas Gottmann is the Central Component’s direct line of interaction with the European Commission, where the Landscapes For Our Future programme was conceptualised.

Here he speaks about the importance the EU places on integration, and some of the key characteristics he sees in Integrated Landscape Management. Listen as he speaks into the need for a common vision, convening power and the need for iterative and adaptive management.
