The Kew Declaration is based on a synthesis and conclusions of discussions held at the ‘Reforestation for Biodiversity, Carbon Capture and Livelihoods’ conference (online, February 2021) and on evidence presented in the published scientific literature. The aim of the Kew Declaration is to protect biodiversity, mitigate carbon emissions and climate change, and improve livelihoods by promoting a framework and policies that ensure protection of intact forests and adoption of effective restoration strategies that further these three goals.
