The Forest Landscape Restoration (FLR) Implementation Hub: Delivering the Bonn Challenge
Forest Landscape Restoration (FLR) provides a crucial opportunity to support sustainable livelihoods for local communities and achieve climate change mitigation, adaptation, and biodiversity benefits. Several restoration initiatives are underway, but progress on implementation and monitoring has been slow due to several barriers. The project contributes to the critical need to accelerate and scale up the implementation of FLR in the partner countries. By supporting the implementation of FLR the project will contribute to the sequestration of CO2 across targeted landscapes and the recovery of biodiversity in the long term. It also catalyses additional public and private funding to scaling up FLR activities.
