Representatives of International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT), the World Resources Institute (WRI), the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), the Tropical Agricultural Research and Higher Education Center (CATIE), and Permian Global met in Colombia to kick-start the implementation of the 20×20 land restoration initiative.
The Initiative itself was launched during the 2014 Global Landscapes Forum, alongside the 20th Conference of the Parties (COP20) of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). It aims restore 20 million hectares of land by 2020.
