Restoring land and reducing its degradation is crucial for Cameroon’s sustainable development and long-term resilience. Over 70 percent of the population depend on agriculture for their livelihoods, and as such are directly impacted by land degradation. As such, Cameroon has pledged to restore 12 million hectares of land and reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 32 percent by 2030, in line with international targets like the Paris Agreement, the Bonn Challenge and AFR100.
