Synopsis (short abstract) The Target 2 Roadmap is a global partnership initiative designed to monitor and accelerate progress towards restoring 30 percent of degraded ecosystems by 2030, in line with the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. Led by FAO, as custodian of the headline indicator on area under restoration, and developed in collaboration with the CBD Secretariat, SER, CIFOR-ICRAF, and other partners, the Roadmap provides methodologies, guidance, and a strategic framework for coordinated implementation through COP16 and beyond. Endorsed by the CBD Conference of the Parties at its sixteenth meeting (Decision 16/35) and launched at SBSTTA-27 in October 2025, it serves as a platform to align efforts, scale up restoration monitoring, and build national capacity. As part of the UK-funded AIM4NatuRe initiative, the Roadmap supports CBD Parties in monitoring and reporting on restoration progress through inclusive engagement with technical partners, Indigenous Peoples, and civil society in co-developing tools, datasets, and training resources.

Enabling consistent reporting and monitoring for freshwater (inland waters) restoration under Target 2 of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework 2025

Also available in:

No results found.

This publication provides guidance for reporting on the restoration of freshwater (inland water) ecosystems under Target 2 of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. It introduces a definition of “area under restoration” tailored to the unique characteristics of freshwater ecosystems and outlines key considerations for monitoring restoration efforts. By promoting consistent and coherent reporting, the guidelines aim to support countries in tracking progress, enhancing ecological outcomes, and ensuring that these critical but often overlooked ecosystems are effectively restored and maintained.

Based on official reports, this compendium illustrates how projects funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF), designed and implemented by FAO in close collaboration with national counterparts in Latin America and the Caribbean from 2013 to 2023, are concretely contributing to achieving the objectives of the new Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework of the Convention on Biological Diversity. These projects have been instrumental in addressing critical biodiversity challenges in the region, where biodiversity is rich but threatened. FAO has worked in partnership with local governments, community organizations and other key stakeholders to develop strategies and actions that not only protect biodiversity, but also foster sustainable development and community resilience.In particular, this document focuses on Goal 02: Restore 30 percent of all degraded ecosystems.To this end, ecological restoration strategies, both active -mainly afforestation- and passive -removing disturbing agents-were designed and implemented in Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Uruguay and the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.

These projects have been instrumental in addressing critical biodiversity challenges in the region, where biodiversity is rich but threatened. FAO has worked in partnership with local governments, community organizations and other key stakeholders to develop strategies and actions that not only protect biodiversity, but also foster sustainable development and community resilience.In particular, this document focuses on Target 01 of the Global Biodiversity Framework: Plan and manage all areas to reduce biodiversity loss. This target is fundamental to ensuring that land and natural resources are used sustainably.Through the implementation of projects under an integrated landscape approach, significant progress has been made in land-use planning and management in several countries in the region, including Chile, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru. These projects have promoted sustainable agricultural practices, the restoration of degraded ecosystems and the creation of protected areas, contributing to the reduction of deforestation and habitat degradation.
