Engaging Faith Groups on Land Restoration
A G20 Global Land Initiative Stocktake Report
Built on a survey of more than 100 faith organizations in 24 countries. It records what faith communities are already doing to restore land and where they need help: 92% treat care for nature as part of their mission, but only 28% have a written restoration policy and 76% report a technical-capacity gap. This is the evidence base behind our work.
