Stantec, a global leader in sustainable design and engineering,
has been named a partner in the United Nations (UN) Decade on
Ecosystem Restoration, solidifying Stantec’s position as one of the
foremost global ecosystem restoration firms.
The UN’s Decade on Ecosystem Restoration, which runs 2021
through 2030, is a global compact signed by 70-plus countries. It
aims to prevent, halt, and reverse the degradation of ecosystems
around the world. This effort also plays a critical role in
achieving the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
In support of this global call to action, the UN developed a
partnership framework inclusive of eight participation categories.
The UN partnership committee approved Stantec’s application as an
actor partner in that framework. Stantec is the first design and
engineering firm to be named an actor partner by the UN Decade on
Ecosystem Restoration team.
Actor partners are private sector entities that develop
restoration programs and advise, support, or facilitate restoration
activities on the ground. Actor partners sign a declaration
statement about adhering to the UN Decade on Restoration principles
and are committed to several expectations outlined by the UN over
the course of the decade, including serving on its Science
Taskforce.
“It’s an honor to join with the UN to help restore ecosystems
that are essential to addressing climate-change impacts,” said
Susan Reisbord, executive vice president for Stantec’s
Environmental Services business. “Located throughout the world, our
multidisciplinary ecosystem restoration teams are trusted technical
advisors helping achieve our clients’ restoration goals at nearly
any scale or location in the landscape.”
Over its nearly 70-year history, Stantec has developed a large
in-house team of more than 1,000 ecosystem restoration
professionals worldwide including ecologists, restoration
specialists, and technicians.
Stantec’s work has benefited both clients and communities
through the restoration of:
- More than 40,000 acres across North America, in over 50 states
and provinces, and
- More than 1,000 miles of rivers and streams across the
globe
In its ecosystem restoration work, Stantec works with clients to
reduce their carbon footprint by restoring forests and wetlands
that sequester carbon, improve coastal resiliency through the
restoration of estuaries and coastal wetlands, meet corporate
sustainability goals through nature-based solutions, restore
prairies and forests to create pollinator habitat, and meet
mitigation needs and improve water quality and aquatic environments
by restoring streams and wetlands.
