Technology and innovation for restoration monitoring is rapidly advancing thanks to developments in geospatial technology and imagery. If deployed effectively, these technical solutions for restoration planning and monitoring can significantly scale up action on the ground and contribute to meeting the ambitious targets of the restoration, biodiversity and climate agendas.

This session highlights key solutions and ongoing challenges in dryland restoration monitoring, and closes with a soft launch of the Framework for Ecosystem Restoration Monitoring (FERM), focusing specifically on the integration and implementation of the Drylands Restoration Monitoring Platform (DRIP) developed by FAO in support of the United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration.
