The Decade has so many co-benefits for SDGs that go way beyond climate change. Restoration includes measures to create green jobs, help biodiversity, help farm income, stabilize water supply for big cities, stabilize food supply.

Tim Christophersen

Chair, UN Environment Global Partnership on Forest and Landscape Restoration

Like the rivers, we must continue to flow on - and the goal for this generation is restoration. It’s time to reconnect with nature, feel it, and act immediately

Niria Alicia Gracia

Xicana human rights advocate and Indigenous leader

Sir Robert Watson

Environmental scientist

Coordination adapts to the progress of the restoration, making it evolve. The process is long, that's why it requires an active collaboration of different stakeholders from the government and private sector.

Julien Noël Rakotoarisoa

Director General of Environmental Governance, Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development, Madagascar

We have seen more than 100 years of destruction of ecosystems, especially forests, and now it’s time to enter into 100 years of restoration – and this might be the first decade.
