Gala of Hope: UN Decade Special Event on Ecosystem Restoration

This UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration special event, held during UNCCD COP17, celebrates three new UN World Restoration Flagships. It brings together government leaders, UN representatives, Indigenous Peoples, local communities, youth and restoration practitioners to recognize ambitious restoration efforts transforming drylands, rangelands and food systems.

The programme includes the official award ceremony for the new Flagships, exclusive premiere footage, high-level speakers, an interactive Restoration Dialogue on the next five years of the UN Decade, and a networking cocktail reception.
