Synopsis (short abstract) Several regional or sub regional initiatives are currently on going on in Forest and Landscape Restoration in Latin America, Africa, Asia Pacific and the Mediterranean. These regional initiatives contribute to the achievement of the Bonn Challenge which aims to restore 150 million hectares by 2020. Those regional or sub regional initiatives/dynamics emerged recently with the support of several key partners involved in the Global Partnership on Forest and Landscape Restoration such as FAO, IUCN, WRI or the Global Mechanism of the UNCCD. They help to implement national FLR efforts at the most relevant scale to develop: (i) collaboration between countries with the same ecosystems and/or FLR issues, (ii) knowledge sharing on good practices, monitoring tools and guidelines and (iii) pooling of both human and financial resources by building relevant alliances between technical and/or financial partners. This side event will allow the members of those regional initiatives to understand the diversity of the existing ongoing dynamics in the different regions and will help all partners involved in those regional dynamics to build on existing successful results in Latin America, Africa, Asia-Pacific or the Mediterranean.

    During the last APFW, a high-level session was organized on regional initiatives on Forest and Landscape Restoration with the idea to initiate a discussion on the preparation of a regional Action Plan. During this session, most country representatives recognized the importance of FLR issues and proposed to to continue the dialogue on this regional Action Plan at the upcoming COFO session. At the APFC session on FLR (item 12), held on Friday 26/02/2016, member States recommended to FAO to sup port the preparation of this regionally-shared vision and Action Plan on Forest and Landscape Restoration. Based on this recommendation, the FLRM team and the RAP in Bangkok decided to hire an international consultant to prepare a draft strategy and an action plan for further discussion during COFO at a side event proposed jointly by FAO and key regional partners such as APF Net and WRI. By building on current regional dynamics on Forest and Landscape Restoration in the Asia-Pacific region, th is side event will allow to present the draft strategy and action plan on FLR to member State representatives in order to move forward an ambitious regional initiative on FLR (See below the detailed Agenda).
