The Forest Landscape Restoration (FLR) Implementation Hub: Delivering the Bonn Challenge

The project establishes a demand-responsive FLR Implementation Hub that supports countries with accelerating and scaling FLR implementation, to meet international targets and national goals on climate mitigation and adaptation, biodiversity, and reversing land degradation as part of the UN Decade on Restoration. It will support countries through grants, calls and tenders with implementing FLR at scale, to develop ready and investible FLR projects and programmes; coordinated investment preparation, technical assistance and mobilization of the private sector; capacity development and knowledge creation; and coherent and supporting policies and plans. By promoting FLR, the project provides multiple benefits to a wide range of stakeholders at all scales with nature-based solutions to recovery strategies post Covid-19, the promotion of healthy and resilient landscapes and communities, and generating green jobs.
