Becoming #GenerationRestoration: Ecosystem restoration for people, nature and climate

We invite you to read this report published by the United Nations Environment Programme, which shows why we should all support the global restoration effort. Drawing on the latest scientific evidence, it explains the crucial role played by ecosystems from forests and farmland to rivers and oceans, and charts the losses that result from our poor stewardship of the planet.

Without a powerful 10-year drive for restoration, we can neither achieve the climate targets of the Paris Agreement, nor the Sustainable Development Goals. By declaring the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration (2021–2030), governments have recognized the need to prevent, halt and reverse the degradation of ecosystems worldwide for the benefit of both people and nature.
