IUCN and the UN Decade Ecosystem Restoration Hub: Success Stories and Guidance
The UN Decade Ecosystem Restoration Hub is a digital platform that enables restoration implementers to showcase their contributions to the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration. It allows practitioners to connect with others in the global restoration community while spotlighting many of the incredible restoration efforts already underway globally.
In 2026, the IUCN Secretariat will host a five-part webinar series titled IUCN and the UN Decade Ecosystem Restoration Hub: Success Stories and Guidance. This series will provide the Union with information on the UN Decade Ecosystem Restoration Hub, as well as examples of IUCN restoration initiatives which are catalogued on this platform. More broadly, the series will provide insight into restoration priorities and progress across regions in the context of the UN Decade.
A total of five webinars will take place, each focusing on a specific geographic region. The sessions will provide practical information on the UN Decade Ecosystem Restoration Hub while also bringing to life inspiring success stories of restoration action from across a range of ecosystems. Registration is available through IUCN Engage.
By attending this series, IUCN Members, Commissions, and partners will gain a better understanding of how the UN Decade Ecosystem Restoration Hub offers the opportunity to for impactful restoration work to be recognised and amplified globally. Moreover, these sessions will facilitate IUCN Secretariat, Members, Commissions, and partners to connect and explore shared restoration priorities.
The 90-minute sessions will be hosted on Zoom and delivered primarily in English, with simultaneous interpretation made available in all UN official languages.
