What if we transformed refugee camps into regenerative camps? A practical approach to implementing the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration: public Roundtable on 5th June 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Sounds like a crazy idea? Wait until you hear more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2021-2030 is declared as the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration<\/a>. #GenerationRestoration. Taking this as an opportunity, Tina Teucher would like to support the scaling and multiplication of regenerative projects: Restoration in refugee camps has an enormous potential to enhance the living conditions of forcibly displaced people and \u2013 at the same time \u2013 the ecosystem services of the region. The UN Global Goals<\/a> aim to better the living conditions whilst supporting the natural environment. So why not transform refugee camps into regenerative camps, for the people\u2019s health, wealth and peace \u2013 and for the ecosystem\u2019s regeneration?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Two roundtables on the 5th of June 2021 shed light on the learnings from existing projects, combining ecosystem restoration and working with refugees and involved stakeholders such as aid organisations and funders to discuss the growth potential of regenerative practices in refugee camps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What is needed to establish restoration projects in those camps?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n How can projects multiply, speed up and scale?<\/strong> Regenerative practices are approaches like permaculture, food forests, regenerative agriculture, agroforestry, agroecology or silvopasture. They all help to regenerate soil fertility, improve water security, and can also provide food and renewable building material.
