Around the world, governments, associations and private entities are working to meet FLR targets set under their Bonn Challenge commitments. Achieving these ambitious goals requires mobilizing institutions, private sector actors, and civil society to undertake FLR as a landscape approach through supportive policies, finance, and capacity building.

The Bonn Challenge Barometer offers pledgers a universally applicable, systematic framework for identifying, assessing and tracking action on Bonn Challenge commitments. The Barometer supports pledgers to not only evaluate progress and identify the impacts of their restoration efforts, but also to assess bottlenecks and opportunities to facilitate continued action.

The Bonn Challenge Barometer Protocol presents the full framework, its core principles, the process for data collection and analysis is available here.
