Willamette Partnership helps build collaborative solutions to complex conservation problems.
Its work is focused on building resilience, both in natural ecosystems and in the communities that depend on them. Its approach is rooted in a strong sense of place and community, and it depends on contributions from a diverse coalition of partners from the worlds of conservation, business, government, agriculture, and science.
The Partnership believes that solutions to many of our seemingly intractable conservation problems are within reach. Here’s what we need to make it happen:
Clearly defined goals – What does success look like?
Tools to target efforts and track progress – How can the Partnership make the best use of limited resources, and how will it know whether we’re succeeding?
The right catalyst – How can the Partnership align social, economic, legal, and political drivers to make sure solving the problem makes sense for everyone?
Its expertise in policy, technical and science support, and stakeholder processes helps partners address these gaps and build a clear path forward. Today it is bringing that expertise to help tackle complex problems across the western United States.
The Sendai Framework Voluntary Commitments (SFVC) online platform allows stakeholders to inform the public about their work on DRR. The SFVC online platform is a useful toolto know who is doing what and where for the implementation of the Sendai Framework, which could foster potential collaboration among stakeholders. All stakeholders (private sector, civil society organizations, academia, media, local governments, etc.) working on DRR can submit their commitments and report on their progress and deliverables.
