From conversation to convergence. From convergence to collective action.

Bhubaneswar City Knowledge Innovation Cluster Foundation hosted the Landscape of the Future (LoTF) convening – Setting the Odisha Example as a National Evidence. The convening brought together stakeholders from #civilsociety, #research, #philanthropy and the #startups to explore how integrated landscape approaches can strengthen #ecologicalresilience, #livelihoods and #inclusiveeconomicgrowth.

The discussions focused on three key unlocks: Knowledge, Networks and Resources, with Samaaj, Sarkar & Bazaar at the heart of collective action. The dialogue moved from individual interventions towards integrated, landscape-based approaches, bringing together perspectives from coastal and tribal landscapes, energy transition, innovation and landscape financing.

The next step is to translate these conversations into partnerships, convergence and action on the ground, while capturing Odisha’s learning for wider replication.

A sincere appreciation to Socratus Foundation for Collective Wisdom, Rainmatter Foundation, Common Ground Initiative, Energiva Ventures, Sattva Consulting, Nature’s Club, the participating start-ups, and all the practitioners and institutions who brought their knowledge and perspectives to the table.
