El Objetivo 15 de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) consiste en «proteger, restaurar y promover el aprovechamiento sostenible de los ecosistemas terrestres, la gestión sostenible de los bosques, la lucha contra la desertización, así como detener e invertir la degradación de los suelos y la pérdida de biodiversidad».

L’objectif de développement durable (ODD) n° 15 vise à : « Protéger, restaurer et promouvoir l’utilisation durable des écosystèmes terrestres, gérer durablement les forêts, lutter contre la désertification, stopper et inverser la dégradation des terres et la perte de biodiversité.

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) continue to influence global development policy in the coming decade. Under SDG15, Target 15.3 calls to “combat desertification, restore degraded land and soil, including land affected by desertification, drought and floods, and strive to achieve a land degradation-neutral world” by 2030. As of May 2019, 122 countries committed to set national targets for a land degradation-neutral world (LDN).

In 2011, the government of Germany and IUCN together launched the Bonn Challenge as a global commitment to bring under restoration 150 million hectares (Mha) of land by 2020.  IUCN has developed the Bonn Challenge Barometer: a progress-tracking framework and tool to support pledgers in meeting the critical need to assess and report on the implementation of national and subnational forest landscape restoration (FLR) pledges made under the Bonn Challenge.
