UN report: 252 million hectares of habitat are being actively restored across 149 countries
The Green Climate Fund also had a record year, allocating $3.3 billion to developing countries.
In short
252 M haunder active restoration
- Area under restoration: 252M hectares
- Countries: 149
- Investment needed: $64B → $296B a year by 2030
The numbers
A UN Environment Programme report estimates that 252 million hectares of land, marine and freshwater habitat in 149 countries are under active restoration, supporting over a million green jobs. The Green Climate Fund reported a record year, allocating $3.3 billion to climate projects in developing countries.
The gap
The report says restoration investment would need to rise from $64 billion to $296 billion a year by 2030, so the progress is real but far from enough.
