The Asia Pacific Land Use Forum (APLUF) was conceived by Credit Suisse to explore potential collaboration opportunities to scale land use planning and management solutions.

The inaugural APLUF was held in Bangkok, Thailand on 23 November 2017. APLUF17 brought together representatives from local and international NGOs, research and development agencies, and regional banks and investors to focus on major environmental and social land use issues, primarily in the Greater Mekong Sub-region (GMS).
