Ecosystem restoration for people, nature and climate
The UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration provides a unique opportunity to transform food, fiber, and feed production systems to the needs of the 21st century, and to eradicate poverty, hunger, and malnutrition.
This report presents the case for why we all must throw our weight behind a global restoration effort. Drawing on the latest scientific evidence, it explains the crucial role of ecosystems from forests and farmland to rivers and oceans and charts the losses resulting from our poor stewardship of the planet.
The UN Decade runs from 2021 through 2030 and is led by the United Nations Environment Programme and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.
Year: 2021
