The launchpad Restoring forests and landscapes: challenges and opportunities for the upcoming Decade will take place on 2 June 2021 at 14:45-15:30 (CEST) during the Global Landscapes Forum (GLF) Africa Digital Conference Restoring Africa's Drylands: Accelerating Action on the Ground.
Register here! GLF is offering complimentary tickets for all African nationals for this digital conference.

During the launchpad, the French edition of the international forestry journal Unasylva, “Restoring the Earth - the next decade" will be released. The journal is devoted to building momentum for the restoration agenda to 2030, particularly in light of the opportunities presented by major restoration commitments such as the Bonn Challenge, the New York Declaration on Forests, AFR100, Initiative 20×20 and the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration 2021-2030.

The Unasylva journal, established in 1947, is the UN FAO’s longest-running periodical. It aims to bring globally-significant developments in forestry to a broad range of readers, and features contributors from across the planet and from a range of sectors and institutions.

At the launch of Unasylva 252, panelists from civil society, international organizations and national governments will share stories of the participatory process that lead to the edition’s creation; highlight important findings of the edition; raise awareness around the opportunities associated with restoration and the UN Decade; and emphasize the vibrancy of restoration efforts at the global level.
