Land resources – soil, water, and biodiversity – provide the foundation for the wealth of our societies and economies. They meet the growing needs and desires for food, water, fuel, and other raw materials that shape our livelihoods and lifestyles. However, the way we currently manage and use these natural resources is threatening the health and continued survival of many species on Earth, including our own.
Conserving, restoring, and using our land resources sustainably is a global imperative: one that requires moving to a crisis footing, enabling
all stakeholders to go beyond existing development and business model paradigms to activate a transformative land restoration agenda for
people, nature, and the climate. Parliamentarians, as policy-shapers on land conservation, sustainable management, and restoration issues are a critical force at the national level to drive land conservation and restoration efforts.
