The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) today on Earth Day launched Accelerating Innovative Monitoring for Nature Restoration (AIM4NatuRe), a new initiative with GBP 7 million from the United Kingdom to improve monitoring and reporting of global ecosystem restoration efforts.

“AIM4NatuRe will provide a new dynamic input for global restoration efforts,” said FAO Director-General QU Dongyu. “By providing countries with technical expertise and solutions, and ensuring they have the resources they need to monitor their progress accurately, we can ensure that our collective efforts translate restoration commitments into real and lasting impacts for people and the planet during this UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration and beyond.” 

“AIM4NatuRe is an innovative initiative that will leverage technology and data to enhance nature restoration, building on the success of the high-performing AIM4Forests program. The UK has a leading role in protecting and restoring forests while empowering the communities that depend on them, and we’re proud to work with partners like FAO to support countries across the globe,” said United Kingdom Minister for Climate Kerry McCarthy.

AIM4NatuRe will complement FAO’s existing AIM4Forests program and enable the creation of a global dataset on nature restoration progress. Countries will receive support to build capacity and use the latest technology to monitor and report their progress towards target 2 of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF), which aims to restore at least 30 percent of degraded ecosystems by 2030.
