#ThinkLandscape
At this digital forum, learn how we can protect our food, water, carbon stocks and biodiversity by restoring landscapes.
The climate and biodiversity crises are already affecting people and landscapes around the world. But there’s one natural remedy that can tackle them both: restoring degraded and damaged landscapes.
There are already countless restoration projects that are turning degraded landscapes into beacons of hope and resilience. On 21 November, you’ll have the chance to get to know some of these projects and meet the people behind them.
Discover how local restoration projects are reshaping landscapes globally, and get inspired to start your own!

Harvesting restoration experiences
At its core, this digital forum is a space to explore insights from restoration projects around the world. For this session, we have invited restoration project representatives to share their experiences and lessons learned.
Through a series of presentations, we will explore key lessons from the following focus areas that are crucial to landscape restoration:
- Capacity development
- Monitoring impact
- Collaboration and multi-stakeholder approaches
- Access to markets and livelihood development
After these presentations, our panel of experts will discuss the insights shared and draw conclusions.
