Abstract: National and local governments need to step up efforts to effectively implement the post‐2020 global bio ersity framework of the Convention on Biological Diversity to halt and reverse worsening bio ersity trends. Drawing on recent advances in interdisciplinary bio ersity science, we propose a framework for improved implementation by national and subnational governments. First, the identification of actions and the promotion of ownership across stakeholders need to recognize the multiple values of bio ersity and account for remote responsibility. Second, cross‐sectorial implementation and mainstreaming should adopt scalable and multifunctional ecosystem restoration approaches and target positive futures for nature and people. Third, assessment of progress and adaptive management can be informed by novel bio ersity monitoring and modeling approaches handling the multidimensionality of bio ersity change.

Abstract: As of 2020, the world has an estimated 290 million ha of planted forests and this number is continuously increasing. Of these, 131 million ha are monospecific planted forests under intensive management. Although monospecific planted forests are important in providing timber, they harbor less bio ersity and are potentially more susceptible to disturbances than natural or erse planted forests. Here, we point out the increasing scientific evidence for increased resilience and ecosystem service provision of functionally and species erse planted forests (hereafter referred to as erse planted forests) compared to monospecific ones. Furthermore, we propose five concrete steps to foster the adoption of erse planted forests: (1) improve awareness of benefits and practical options of erse planted forests among land‐owners, managers, and investors (2) incentivize tree species ersity in public funding of afforestation and programs to ersify current maladapted planted forests of low ersity (3) develop new wood‐based products that can be derived from many different tree species not yet in use (4) invest in research to assess landscape benefits of erse planted forests for functional connectivity and resilience to global‐change threats and (5) improve the evidence base on erse planted forests, in particular in currently under‐represented regions, where new options could be tested.
