JOIN IUCN FOR A ‘BIG IDEAS’ TALK IN NEW YORK | Sunday, September 22, 2019 | 1:00 p.m.-2:45 p.m. | Logistics info here: https://nature4climate.org/
Ambitious global restoration goals have been set – including the Bonn Challenge and NYDF target of bringing 150 mil ha of deforested and degraded land into restoration by 2020 and 350 mil ha by 2030. Restoration has been mainstreamed as a delivery vehicle for the Paris Agreement, SDGs and Aichi Targets. For example, 127 countries included restoration in their NDCs.
But people want facts and figures about progress so they can use this information to increase ambition. Based on data from 20 countries, IUCN’s Dr. Radhika Dave has a story to tell you about what’s really happening.
IUCN’s Bonn Challenge Barometer not only generates a figure of hectares under restoration, it tells you how much CO2 has been and can be sequestered, how restoration is benefiting biodiversity, and the number of people who have got restoration jobs. It tells you how much money has been allocated and the enabling conditions for investment that have been put in place. It’s a head with many arms, designed to pull in data from multiple sources, like Cote d’Ivoire’s REDD+ land monitoring, the IUCN Red List, MapBiomas, the proposed Global Restoration Watch, and many others. The Barometer isn’t ‘Big Brother’; it’s all about building a credible and comprehensive picture of progress with experts in the countries. Without that shared ownership, restoration is unlikely to be scaled up or be sustainable, or to take off and be tracked as needed in all ecosystems during the UN Decade of Ecosystem Restoration.
