CHM - ORTNational Target
General
Lao People's Democratic Republic
Target 2: By 2030, degraded areas of forests, agricultural lands, and inland waters will have been mapped, and 20% will have been restored to improve biodiversity, connectivity, and ecosystem integrity.
ENRecovery of degraded areas and primarily forests
Policy to restore forest cover up to 70%.
A means to report on successfully restored areas is developed.
Forest law and agriculture policy, as well as national targets to increase forest area by 2050.
Alignment
GBF-G-A. Ecosystems are conserved, extinctions are halted and genetic diversity is maintained
GBF-G-B. Biodiversity is sustainably used and its contributions to people are maintained, enhanced or restored
| Global Targets | Degree of Alignment |
GBF-T02. 30% of degraded areas are under effective restoration GBF-T02. 30% of degraded areas are under effective restorationEnsure that by 2030 at least 30 per cent of areas of degraded terrestrial, inland water, and coastal and marine ecosystems are under effective restoration, in order to enhance biodiversity and ecosystem functions and services, ecological integrity and connectivity. | High |
GBF-T10. Areas under agriculture, aquaculture, fisheries and forestry are managed sustainably GBF-T10. Areas under agriculture, aquaculture, fisheries and forestry are managed sustainablyEnsure that areas under agriculture, aquaculture, fisheries and forestry are managed sustainably, in particular through the sustainable use of biodiversity, including through a substantial increase of the application of biodiversity friendly practices, such as sustainable intensification, agroecological and other innovative approaches contributing to the resilience and long-term efficiency and productivity of these production systems and to food security, conserving and restoring biodiversity and maintaining nature’s contributions to people, including ecosystem functions and services . | High |
Access to financial resources
Biodiversity and health
Collective effort towards the targets
Consistency with international agreements or instruments
Contribution and rights of indigenous peoples and local communities
Cooperation and synergies
Different value systems
Fulfilment of the three objectives of the Convention and its Protocols, and their balanced implementation
National circumstances, priorities and capabilities
Principles of the Rio Declaration
Whole-of-government and whole-of-society approach
While there are financial resources, increased funding would increase the rate of meeting the target. The work is consistent with UNFCCC and GFGs, as well as Rio principles Values of ILCs taken into consideration, and it is a national goal to reforest.
Goal A - Integrity and connectivity;
Goal B - Sustainable use
Target 2: Restoration
Target 11: Restored ecosystem services from restored areas

Means to implementation and barriers to implementation
Yes (Additional means of implementation are needed for the attainment of this national target)
Combined efforts among public and private sectors, development partners, and CSOs are needed.
