Global Partnership for Sustainable and Resilient Landscapes (PROGREEN)

Intact ecosystems are critical for both climate change mitigation and adaptation. They provide critical habitat for a rich diversity of species and essential services that sustain human livelihood. But the world’s ecosystems are under significant threat and land degradation continues to spread and threaten key ecosystems services. The project is a global mechanism to support global goals and commitments on forests and terrestrial ecosystems conservation, restoration and sustainable use. It is designed as a multi-donor trust fund that supports countries to achieve national development goals and global commitments on climate change, biodiversity and ecosystem restoration. The IKI contribution aims to maintain and improve ecosystem services in resilient production and conservation landscapes in Brazil. The expected outcome is the facilitation of a large-scale forest landscape restoration program of critical lands located in the larger Amazon Forest and Cerrado biomes.
