On 29 September 2021 (17.00 CET), the World Resources Institute (WRI) is hosting the webinar "Strong Public Policies to Restore Land: Breaking through the Barriers to Success".
Over 3 billion people around the world face the effects of land degradation: declining crop yields, poor water quality and worsening soil erosion. To remedy this, governments have committed to restoring millions of hectares of land under the global Bonn Challenge and regional movements like AFR100 and Initiative 20x20.
This three-part policy dialogue series will bring together experts from around the world to discuss bottlenecks and successful case studies in restoration policymaking. This first dialogue will focus on effective strategies to break policy barriers, including regulation around land tenure and payments for ecosystem services. Join representatives from Africa, Latin America and India as they share their experiences and discuss how countries can forge a strong path under the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration.
