JOINT FAO-UNEP MEDIA ADVISORY

Launch of the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration 2021-2030 – 4 June 2021

The Decade is a global rallying cry to heal our planet

Facing the triple threat of climate change, loss of biodiversity and pollution, the world needs to step up efforts to revive damaged ecosystems that support all life on Earth.

The UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration<https://www.decadeonrestoration.org/> is a global effort aimed at restoring the planet and ensuring One Health for people and nature. It aims to prevent, halt and reverse the degradation of ecosystems on every continent and in every ocean. It can also help to end poverty and hunger, combat climate change and prevent loss of biodiversity, thus contributing to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Restoring damaged ecosystems is particularly crucial in the context of the current COVID-19 pandemic and the Building Back Better approach.

Led by El Salvador and together with over 70 countries, the United Nations General Assembly proclaimed 2021–2030 as the Decade on Ecosystem Restoration on March 1, 2019. The UN Environment Programme (UNEP) and Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) are tasked to lead the implementation.

The Decade will be officially launched at a special virtual high-level event on Friday, 4 June. The event will bring together UN agencies, heads of State and Government, ministers, policy leaders, civil society, private sector, financial institutions, researchers, youth, artists and activists among others.

The event will be webcast here<https://www.worldenvironmentday.global/latest/official-broadcast>

It can also be followed on UNEP’s YouTube channel<https://www.youtube.com/user/UnepAndYou>
