Synopsis (short abstract) 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.

    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.
