Synopsis (short abstract) To meet global restoration needs and recover degraded forests and landscapes, adequate public and private investments are required to support restoration activities on the ground. The new FAO publication “Local financing mechanisms for forest and landscape restoration: A review of local level investment mechanisms” examines the pathways available to financing restoration for a positive local level impact. The document provides an in-depth study of how financial mechanisms can be coordinated to maximise the leverage of finance and the adoption of practices at scale across the landscape. By examining some of the accessible investment mechanisms and planning strategies, it aims to support discussions, thinking and decision-making on how to effectively find, select and use investments to provide appropriate incentives and maximize forest and landscape restoration actions. Finally, the publication underlines how facilitators can bridge the gap between smallholders and investors, boosting investments, while promoting local ownership.

Restoring and sustaining landscapes together: a regional programmatic framework for forest and landscape restoration to advance the United Nations decade on ecosystem restoration in Asia 2023

Also available in:

Several challenges and barriers exist for successful implementation of Forest and Landscape Restoration (FLR), particularly for smallholders and communities. These include conflicts of interest, land tenure issues, developing viable FLR models, capacity gaps and low access to financing. Past efforts in the region have not always been optimal in terms of quality of restored landscapes, analysis of local context and inclusion of stakeholders, and valorizing and funding the multiple restoration benefits among others. The Regional Programmatic Framework is an essential step forward for framing tangible partnerships and actions to address these barriers and challenges, and thereby helping countries scale up and enhance their FLR initiatives and outcomes.

Significant investment is required to meet international restoration targets. Such investments often exceed national budgets and therefore responsible and coordinated investments are needed.

This leaflet provide a range of diverse financial mechanisms that leverage financial support for the implementation of restoration activities.
