Learnings from your landscape: a pre-visit survey

Your landscape context

We invite you to contribute information about your project so that we can distil key lessons and learnings for future ILM and European Commission programming.

Through this survey, we would like to learn more about your project's landscape and the context in which you operate. If your project is situated in multiple landscapes, only answer about your focal landscape or the one that best reflects the sustainability challenges confronting your country.

This information will be treated as confidential, and contributors to this survey will be invited to collaborate on the development of knowledge products that draw on the results from this survey.
