Targets set up at the international level for forest and landscape restoration (FLR) are ambitious: restoring 150 million hectares of degraded lands by 2020 under the Bonn Challenge, an additional 200 million hectares by 2030 under the New York Declaration on Forests, and achieving land degradation neutrality by 2030 as Target 15.3 of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). To reach these objectives, the participation of a wide range of investors and FLR stakeholders will be necessary as well as financing that could range from USD 35 billion (to meet the Bonn Challenge target) to more than USD 300 billion (for land degradation neutrality) per year. Public policy makers have a critical role to play in the mobilization and allocation of financial resources for FLR interventions. Having the ability to build and foster an enabling environment for FLR investments, they hold a significant part of the FLR financing solution in their hands.
