This document has been developed by colleagues from a range of institutions who are interacting with the Global Evergreening Alliance, Evergreening the Earth Campaign (evergreening.org), Target 6 on grazing lands and silvopastoralism systems. The Target Action Group has identified a global rangelands restoration target to regenerate a healthy grass-tree balance on 650 m ha of degraded pasturelands with an annual sequestration drawdown target of 3.6 Gt CO2-eq by 2050 while enhancing ecosystem functions and services and improving livelihoods.
