Abstract/Summary:
Sustainable financing for forest and landscape restoration – The role of public policy makers is a publication by FAO’s Forest Landscape Restoration Mechanism that shares the experiences of initiatives from around the world, from which public policy makers can learn and adapt. It provides recommendations to help them improve their support to FLR financing by (i) mainstreaming FLR in State budgets, (ii) setting up appropriate financing mechanisms, (iii) engaging the private sector, and (iv) building alliances and partnerships. The main findings are also available as an infographic.

Relevance for the Short Term Action Plan on Ecosystem Restoration:
This publication and its recommendations can help develop a framework for resource mobilization and the setting up of financing instruments for restoration, in line with activity B9.
