    Target 2 roadmap

    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.

    Resource guide to Target 2 of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework
    2024
    Also available in:

    This publication serves as a comprehensive resource guide to help countries implement Target 2 of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (KM-GBF). Created for Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and other partners, it offers essential guidance, practical recommendations, and background information to maximize the impact of restoration efforts across various ecosystems. By building on existing initiatives like the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration, this guide provides a pathway for integrating restoration into national biodiversity plans, offering tools and support to help countries achieve a balanced net gain for both people and nature.

    Emissions due to agriculture
    Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018

    The FAOSTAT emissions database is composed of several data domains covering the categories of the IPCC Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector of the national GHG inventory. Energy use in agriculture is additionally included as relevant to emissions from agriculture as an economic production sector under the ISIC A statistical classification, though recognizing that, in terms of IPCC, they are instead part of the Energy sector of the national GHG inventory. FAO emissions estimates are available over the period 1961–2018 for agriculture production processes from crop and livestock activities. Land use emissions and removals are generally available only for the period 1990–2019. This analytical brief focuses on overall trends over the period 2000–2018.

    FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022
    The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.
