Course summary
The Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, adopted in 2022, outlines the global roadmap for preserving life on Earth. Central to this is Target 2, which focuses on restoring ecosystems to promote biodiversity and improve human well-being. In response to this global call, FAO and CBD have developed this e-learning course, along with a comprehensive resource guide, to assist countries and partners in optimizing restoration investments.
Building on the resource guide, this course is part of a broader capacity-building initiative led by FAO, CBD, and international partners. It offers practical tools to help CBD Parties set targets, plan restoration activities, and monitor their progress.
