This action plan sets out the next steps to collectively work towards the goals and vision of the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration. Moving from strategy to action, this plan aims to allow UN Decade partners to mobilise around key priority areas for restoration – the Restoration Challenges – and provide leadership. By defining thematic challenges, they call upon stakeholders to act and contribute to the achievements of these challenges, contributing to key international goals and setting in motion a wave of activity to protect and restore ecosystems and make peace with nature. Many of Challenges aim at World Restoration Flagships within their thematic areas to fill existing gaps or highlight successful initiatives such as large-scale restoration initiatives led by Indigenous People and local communities or Faith-groups.
