Résumé

Continued landscape degradation poses serious obstacles to eliminating poverty and hunger, maintaining biodiversity and to the ability of farmers and local communities to adapt to the impacts of climate change. Land degradation also increases competition for scarce natural resources and therefore, threatens livelihoods, food, water and energy security as well as the resilience of both people and natural ecosystems. In the Mediterranean region, land degradation is mainly caused by rapid land-use changes occurring in the context of climate change which exacerbates the effects of these changes through increasingly frequent heat waves, droughts, and an overall temperature rise. To reduce the effects of climate change and land degradation, several international agreements, initiatives and commitments by countries have aimed to promote restoration and sustainable land management. Momentum is building around national activities regarding forest and landscape restoration, and heading towards a regional commitment at the Mediterranean level. This article sets the Mediterranean scene within the context of both international commitments and regional initiatives focused on the Mediterranean region. It acknowledges how Forest and Landscape Restoration can contribute to achieving international targets in the context of the Rio Conventions. Building on current efforts in the region, the aim is to find opportunities for “regionalization” of the Bonn Challenge in the Mediterranean and to identify the value for countries to be part of a regional initiative.
