Who we are<\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

With over 400 of the world’s best data layers on nature, climate change, and sustainable development, UNBL supports country-led efforts to use national and global spatial data for planning, monitoring, and reporting and to take action for people and planet.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tLearn about us\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t

Check out the new ELSA Integrated Spatial Planning Tool!<\/h1>\n\t

The ELSA Integrated Spatial Planning Tool is now available for all countries in the world.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The new tool combines cutting-edge spatial data with systematic spatial planning tools to help countries identify priority areas where action to protect, manage, and restore nature can best support goals related to biodiversity, climate, and human well-being, with a specific focus on the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. The ELSA Integrated Spatial Planning Tool is freely available upon request on UNBL for all countries.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tLearn more about the ELSA tool\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t

Ecosystem Restoration<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t

Human activities on Earth have led to degradation of natural ecosystems: it is estimated that only 10 percent of the planet’s surface will remain free of direct anthropogenic impact by 2050. Restoring degraded ecosystems can result in cumulative biodiversity, climate, and livelihood benefits, making people and nature more resilient. This collection explores opportunities to restore ecosystems for the benefit of nature and people.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t
