World is far behind on ecosystem restoration target, UN says

The UN environment agency reported that ecosystem restoration is underway on 252 million hectares across 149 countries, far behind the global target of 1 billion hectares by 2030 agreed under the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. Annual restoration finance needs to rise from $64 billion to $296 billion by 2030, the report said.
