Restoration Policy

Integrating restoration into policy at multiple levels is essential, as it provides a structured framework to guide ecological restoration efforts, ensuring they are effective, equitable, and sustainable.

This alignment connects restoration actions with broader global goals—such as combating climate change by enhancing carbon sinks, preserving biodiversity through habitat recovery, and supporting sustainable development by improving ecosystem services that benefit communities.

By establishing clear objectives, funding mechanisms, and monitoring systems, restoration policies help translate international environmental commitments into local action, strengthening resilience and promoting long-term ecological health.

Through our work on restoration policy, we aim to strengthen the capacity of in-country policymakers to improve existing policies and develop new plans that enhance restoration outcomes. 

We also support the alignment of child country project activities with relevant Multilateral Environmental Agreements, ensuring coherence between national actions and international commitments. 

In addition, we are building a knowledge base that informs policy development both within child country projects and across global restoration knowledge products.
