Book (series)Restoring the Earth - The next decade
Unasylva No. 252 - Vol. 71 2020/1
2020This Unasylva issue aims at showcasing forest and landscape restoration (FLR) opportunities and recent developments that have the power to upscale restoration, in order to achieving the Bonn Challenge pledge and other national and international commitments (Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the Convention for Biological Diversity (CBD) Post-2020 Agenda, the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) Land Degradation Neutrality, Paris Agreement under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC)) and addressing the needs of the UN Decade 2021-2030 on Ecosystem Restoration. The content adresses thematics of relevance to various audiences: i) flagship restoration initiatives that differ from the so-called “business-as-usual” as they channel more funds, better empower local stakeholders and provide enhanced technical assistance through partners’ coalitions; ii) technical advances that can spread FLR and have a huge potential to be mainstreamed for different reasons (low cost, adaptability, relevance to many ecosystems and contexts, ease of implementation…); iii) the enabling factors for restoration, i.e. coordination, policy environment, resources, knowledge and capacities, as these are the enabling conditions for action to take place on the ground. -
Book (stand-alone)Promising cases of forest and landscape restoration in Asia and the Pacific
Based on the guiding principles of the United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration
2024Also available in:
No results found.Forest and landscape restoration (FLR) is gaining momentum through the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration 2021–2030. National commitments for FLR are increasing under the three Rio conventions (UNFCCC, CBD, UNCCD), the Bonn Challenge, the New York Declaration on Forests, the Glasgow Leaders’ Declaration on Forest and Land Use, and the Forest and Climate Leaders’ Partnership. These restoration-linked targets and declarations at the global level also include countries in Asia and the Pacific, with a wave of regional-level FLR targets and initiatives such as the ASEAN Green Initiative, Landscape Partnership Asia and the Regional Strategy and Action Plan for FLR in Asia-Pacific. FLR ambitions and efforts on the ground are strong. Many different types of approaches, tools and innovative financing methods are being employed. Interest is also robust in upscaling successful FLR that can contribute to enhancing or maintaining the delivery of ecosystem services, addressing climate change and biodiversity loss, and promoting poverty alleviation, food security and economic development.In this context, the FAO Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific, with support from the IUCN, has examined FLR experiences in the region to identify promising FLR cases in various country settings and ecosystem types. This publication presents 15 promising cases, selected from 150 projects, based on their alignment with the ten principles of the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration. -
Book (stand-alone)The Restoration Initiative: 2021 Year in Review 2022
Also available in:
2021 marks the completion of The Restoration Initiative’s (TRI) third full year of implementation. Despite challenges lingering from the COVID-19 global pandemic, 2021 was a year of encouraging progress. As stay-at-home work requirements and other restrictions were lifted, project participants were able to return to the field, using the analyses, policy recommendations and landscape restoration and management plans developed in 2020 to accelerate restoration actions. In addition, TRI’s global support partners launched an initiative that will help close the investment gap for young enterprises that incorporate nature-based solutions (NbS), and will continue to advance forest landscape restoration (FLR) knowledge- sharing and capacity-building initiatives for TRI partners and the wider restoration community. In many ways, 2021 was a year of transitions, but it also presented a fresh start for continuing on-the-ground work with renewed vigour as the world collectively transitioned to the new normal. -
