This workbook illuminates how countries can use integrated spatial planning to reveal pathways toward the achievement of multiple nature-based goals at once. Employing step-by-step explanations and case studies from 11 UNDP countries, the workbook shows how nations can develop 'Maps of Hope' that indicate where to protect, manage, and restore ecosystems to meet their unique goals. The result is strengthened decision-making, better coordination across sectors, and increased recognition of nature's pivotal role in addressing our planetary crisis.

In September 2023, this workbook was updated to provide guidance on using integrated spatial planning in support of the Convention on Biological Diversity's Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. It is now also available in French and Spanish.
