WWF-SIGHT: Guiding Land Use Planning, Policies and Investments
Track: Environmental Management
Authors: Paolo Tibaldeschi, Pablo Izquierdo

WWF-SIGHT integrates 150+ layers into one platform to resolve a major shortfall which is understanding the potential environmental impacts of large scale developments using an overlap analysis. WWF-SIGHT allows to easily visualize complex datasets and has been successful in supporting global efforts to protect UNESCO World Heritage Sites in 2016. WWF-SIGHT is increasingly used by WWF and partners to guide governments and companies towards sustainable land use plans, policies and investments.
