<\/div>\n

Join our virtual event \u201cCatalyzing a science-based restoration movement in the context of the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration: monitoring and action on the ground\u201d to learn about the latest developments in restoration monitoring which can catalyze a global restoration movement for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The event is a part of the 7th<\/sup>\u00a0World Forestry Week parallel to FAO\u2019s 25th<\/sup>\u00a0Committee on Forestry (COFO), with the topic of \u201cForests and the SDG Decade of Action: solutions for climate change, biodiversity and people\u201d.<\/p>\n

Date: Monday 12 October 2020<\/strong><\/p>\n

Time: 14:30 \u2013 15:30 CEST<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>The session will highlight the progress made on the FAO-led Task Force on Monitoring established in support of the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration, building momentum toward a science-based global restoration movement, with actions on the ground monitored and informed by the best available biophysical and socio-economic information. Further, the session will hear highlights from restoration partners such as ETH Zurich\u2019s Crowther Lab on a new decision support tool based on scientific and ecological data for scaling restoration actions, \u00a0and the Global Restoration Observatory (GRO) co-led by World Resources Institute and Climate Focus. The observatory will reflect on progress made to establish a global standard protocol for restoration monitoring and efforts made to monitor restoration using geospatial tools in the Lower Mekong Region.<\/p>\n

IUCN will update on the Restoration Barometer for identifying, assessing and tracking actions on global restoration commitments. Finally, ongoing work by FAO and partners on monitoring Forest and Landscape Restoration, and on socio-economic elements for restoration planning and actions will be featured.<\/p>\n
