As partners in various initiatives relevant to Forest and Landscape Restoration (FLR) - such as the Global Partnership on Forest and Landscape Restoration (GPFLR), the Collaborative Partnership on Forests (CPF), TerrAfrica, and the Great Green Wall for the Sahel and the Sahara Initiative (GGWSSI) - the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the Global Mechanism of the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (GM-UNCCD) have put in place a dedicated partnership to contribute to the achievement of the Bonn Challenge, the New York Declaration on Forests, the Aichi Biodiversity Targets, and the proposed SDG target 15.3 on Land Degradation Neutrality, both at the country and global levels.
Both organizations are currently working in a Discussion Paper on Sustainable Financing for Forest and Landscape Restoration. The document is under preparation and is planned to be launched in Ankara in October 2015, on the occasion of the 12th session of Conference of Parties (COP-12) of the UNCCD. The draft Table of Contents of the Paper is available in Annex V of the present report.
