Strategic pathways for land restoration & conservation: Multi-stakeholder deliverables & actions towards 2030 breakthroughs

This high-level panel will convene global partners, including ministers, non-state actors, international organizations, and Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities, to assess progress on the restoration and conservation of terrestrial ecosystems. Participants will announce their deliverables achieved in the past year and release actionable plans and commitments for the upcoming year and beyond, highlighting the power of multi-stakeholder partnerships in driving real-world change and delivery towards global goals and commitments on land restoration, including the G20 Land Initiative’s 2040 goal to halt land degradation by 2040, the Nature-Based Solutions 2030 Breakthrough target, and the Glasgow Leaders’ Declaration on Forests and Land-Use (GLD).

This event is designed to celebrate achievements, strengthen partnerships, and lay out concrete steps for ambitious land use and conservation breakthroughs, marking a pivotal moment in the "Delivery Era" of global restoration efforts under the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration (2021-2030).
