Launching the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration, a new UNEP/FAO report says the world must deliver on existing commitments to restore at least 1 billion degraded hectares of land - an area comparable to China - in the next decade and add similar commitments for oceans. The report documents the urgent need for restoration, the financial investment required, and the potential returns for people and nature.
