Members

Initiative 20x20 is a regional partnership bringing together over 95 technical organizations and institutions, 25 private investors and the governments of 18 countries across Latin America and the Caribbean. The initiative harnesses the expertise and capacity of partners to forward the implementation of restoration and conservation efforts across the region, towards the goal of protecting and restoring 20 million hectares of degraded land by 2020 (and 50 million ha by 2030).

As the secretariat of Initiative 20x20, the World Resources Institute facilitates the dialogue between governments, civil society, and the private sector to build an effective coalition that can achieve the initiative’s goals.

As of March 2019, government partners have committed to restore 50.1 million hectares of land. The fourth annual meeting of the partnership in Lima called for global climate funds to increase finance for restoration and conservation to bring about net-zero carbon emissions across the region.
