Restoring Degraded Land, Together
Uniting the world’s leading environmental and development organisations to restore degraded lands worldwide.
What we do
The Evergreening Global Alliance works with, and through, its numerous member organisations – and with governments and multi-lateral agencies – to implement massive land restoration programs. In so doing, the Alliance fosters collaboration, learning, sharing and harmonisation across institutions, sectors and borders.
Why we do it
Land degradation has negative impacts on food production, climate resilience, biodiversity and the livelihoods of millions of people. The major causes of land degradation are deforestation, poor grazing management, groundwater overdraft, inappropriate tillage practices, soil nutrient depletion, and adverse climatic conditions.
We believe the best way to restore degraded agricultural lands is through ‘’EverGreen Agriculture’’ – a type of regenerative farming that integrates trees into crop and livestock production systems.
EverGreening practices are transformational, affordable and accessible, science-based solutions for restoring cropland and rangelands, with multiple benefits. They simultaneously address both the challenges of chronic food insecurity and rural poverty, and the imperative for agriculture to both adapt to and mitigate climate change at a globally significant scale.
We focus on
Nature-Based Solutions
Nature-based Solutions (NbS) are actions that protect, sustainably manage, and restore natural or modified ecosystems. They address societal challenges, while simultaneously benefitting biodiversity and human well-being. In land restoration and conservation, NbS contribute to improving soil productivity and preserving the integrity and intrinsic value of ecosystems.
Our work
EverGreening Around the World
Through our Green Up to Cool Down campaign and flagship projects, we are working to keep our Earth habitable, and improve the lives of millions of people around the planet.
Green Up to
Cool Down
OUR GLOBAL CAMPAIGN
The Evergreening Global Alliance has united many of the world’s development and conservation NGOs to jointly scale-up massive land restoration efforts to address global development challenges, while making the earth greener.
Find out how nature-based solutions can make a tangible contribution to cooling down the planet by capturing 20 billion tons of CO2 annually by mid-century.
