High Level Roundtable on Forest and Landscape Restoration (Summary report)

Only 1/5 of the world’s forests remain. New information to be announced on November 26 will tell us that there are many millions more hectares of lost forests and degraded lands that are suitable for restoration than previously estimated.  These are landscapes of opportunity.

Restoring the world’s natural capital is good value for money and provides crucial goods and services on which mankind depends, including climate change mitigation and adaptation, food security, energy and biodiversity. Restoration activity benefits local communities and the environment as well as having the potential to deliver economic benefits in the longer term. We know how much carbon we can sequester in restored forests and lands, and how and where to do it. There is expertise out there to undertake restoration responsibly and there are ways to share that expertise.

It is this huge opportunity that has prompted the Government of the United Kingdom and IUCN to organize this High-Level Roundtable.  This event is in support of the Global Partnership on Forest Landscape Restoration (GPFLR).
