ABOUT THE UNITED NATIONS DECADE ON ECOSYSTEM RESTORATION 2021-2030
The UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration is a rallying call for the protection and revival of ecosystems all around the world, for the benefit of people and nature. It aims to halt the degradation of ecosystems, and restore them to achieve global goals. Only with healthy ecosystems can we enhance people’s livelihoods, counteract climate change, and stop the collapse of biodiversity. The UN Decade runs from 2021 through 2030, which is also the deadline for the Sustainable Development Goals and the timeline scientists have identified as the last chance to prevent catastrophic climate change.
ABOUT THE ACTION PLAN FOR THE UN DECADE ON ECOSYSTEM RESTORATION 2021-2030
The action plan sets out the next steps to collectively work towards the goals and vision of the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration. Moving from strategy to action, this plan aims to allow UN Decade partners to mobilise around key priority areas for restoration – the Restoration Challenges – and provide leadership. By defining thematic challenges, they call upon stakeholders to act and contribute to the achievements of these challenges, contributing to key international goals and setting in motion a wave of activity to protect and restore ecosystems and make peace with nature. Many of Challenges aim at World Restoration Flagships within their thematic areas to fill existing gaps or highlight successful initiatives such as large-scale restoration initiatives led by Indigenous People and local communities or Faith-groups.
