Abstract/Summary:
Since the announcement of the UN Decade, SER has been engaging with UNEP, FAO and other
international organizations under the Global Forum on Ecological Restoration to promote the vision
and goals of the Decade. As one of the original global partners, SER has supported the development
of the strategy, participated in several Task Forces, and partnered to create the recently released
guiding principles for the Decade. SER is also working to ensure that ecological restoration is
recognized as a key tool for implementing the Decade, with an especially vital role in addressing the
dual challenges of climate change and biodiversity loss. The presentation will introduce SER, its
partnership with the Decade, the new UN Decade guiding principles, the importance of ecological
restoration in the context of the Decade, and other associated activities that SER is undertaking to
support the Decade. It will tackle topics as the ecological restoration continuum, the systems to
certify professionals (CERP) and projects (SER standards), discuss the excellent results of the Make
a Difference Week 2021 and the plan to hold it annually, and finally invite attendees to SER by means
of the Membership for All program.
