#ThinkLandscape

At this digital forum, learn how we can protect our food, water, carbon stocks and biodiversity by restoring landscapes.

The climate and biodiversity crises are already affecting people and landscapes around the world. But there’s one natural remedy that can tackle them both: restoring degraded and damaged landscapes.

There are already countless restoration projects that are turning degraded landscapes into beacons of hope and resilience. On 21 November, you’ll have the chance to get to know some of these projects and meet the people behind them.

Discover how local restoration projects are reshaping landscapes globally, and get inspired to start your own!

Ocean reporting in the era of climate emergency

30-minute panel and 10-minute Q&A

Session host: Pulitzer Center

Speakers:

Moderator:

The seriousness of the climate emergency is blatantly evident this year. We’ve had the hottest days and anomalies never seen before. One disturbing indicator is the temperature of the oceans. Marine issues are increasingly at the core of the climate change debate. In this online panel, in partnership with the Pulitzer Center, journalists share how they are working on improving the coverage of the ocean. We will hear from reporters investigating the effects of climate change on fishing stocks and how this is driving conflicts in communities of the Global South. We will also explore science stories that connect local impacts with the global effects of global warming.

A ‘land’ of opportunities

30-minute panel and 10-minute Q&A

Speakers:

Moderator:

Land restoration plays a significant role in promoting sustainable development, environmental conservation, and social inclusion. Women and youth, who often constitute a considerable percentage of the population in many countries, especially developing countries, can particularly benefit from these efforts. This session will explore how land restoration can, at once, benefit women and youth and contribute to achieving global goals, including on climate action, food security, economic growth and gender equality, for a sustainable future. It will also highlight available resources and data platforms that journalists can use in their reporting to increase and improve the coverage of land degradation and related issues.

A rights-based approach: Reporting on indigenous affairs, climate and the environment

30-minute panel and 10-minute Q&A 

Session host: Grist

Speakers:

Moderator:

Climate change has a disproportionate effect on Indigenous peoples even though Indigenous communities contribute the least to greenhouse emissions. Rising temperatures threaten food sovereignty, land and resources, and often put Indigenous peoples in the crosshairs of green project development. Journalists continue to be a last line of defense for Indigenous rights around the world and play a crucial role in helping the public understand how protecting the environment is braided into the protection of human rights. In partnership with Grist, this panel will feature Indigenous Affairs reporters who will offer tips and tools on how to report stories at the intersection of climate and Indigenous rights. 

13:40–14:20

Fireside chat with scientists

Short topic presentations and Q&A

Session host: CIFOR-ICRAF

Moderator:

Extreme weather and natural disasters are making the effects of climate and biodiversity crises more visible than ever. Can we fix the broken ecosystems? How to secure food for the future? Join the session with top scientists to delve into the pivotal role of science in understanding and crafting solutions to these multifaceted crises, from the grassroots level to the highest echelons of policymaking. This is an opportunity to ask about biodiversity, climate, and restoration ahead of the GLF Global Conference: A New Vision for Earth, and the UN Climate Change Conference COP28.

How community media can drive climate action

Panel and Q&A 

Session host: DW Akademie

Speakers:

Moderator:

After the media seminar, follow this live panel presented by the DW Akademie during the hybrid conference GLF Nairobi 2023: A New Vision for Earth.  

Climate science and climate politics are extremely complex matters. In order to allow people to realize what is at stake, massive amounts of data and regulations must be translated into a language that everybody understands. Media and journalism are needed to do this job. But how can climate information be generated by and for communities, using their own local media, and thus, activate people for the necessary debate about solutions? The panel, hosted by DW Akademie, will focus on the challenges for community media, highlighting best practices from Africa and Latin America.   

DW Akademie is Deutsche Welle’s center for international media development, journalism training and knowledge transfer. Our projects strengthen the human right to freedom of expression and unhindered access to information.

Landscape Leadership Workshop 2023

2023 Landscape Leadership Workshop

As it happened

WHEN

9–10 October 2023

WHERE

Nairobi, Kenya

SOCIAL

#ThinkLandscape

On 9 and 10 October, the 2023 Landscape Leadership Workshop was held in Nairobi, Kenya, to set the scene for the GLF Nairobi 2023 Hybrid Conference: A New Vision for Earth. Co-designed by the Global Landscapes Forum (GLF), the Youth in Landscapes Initiative (YIL), and the Climate and Development Knowledge Network (CDKN), the workshop brought together 45 brilliant young minds from Africa and around the world selected from over 700 applicants to drive impactful and transformative change.

Together, we brainstormed out of the box to find landscape solutions to the climate crisis, biodiversity loss, social injustices and other major challenges. We held hands while sharing our feelings about the world. We harnessed  the power of art to challenge dominant narratives. We will forever cherish the memories we made, and we will continue to nourish these new relationships with care.

To support healthy and equitable landscapes for current and future generations, we must embody and practice landscape leadership: collaborative leadership that cares for people and their livelihoods, values ecosystems and facilitates action that goes beyond business as usual. 

The 2023 Landscape Leadership Workshop will be a hub of invaluable knowledge, skills, tools and insights on how you can become a landscape leader. The carefully curated sessions, interactive discussions and hands-on activities will encourage participants to navigate complex challenges, materialize visions rooted in the landscape approach and grounded by justice, and collaborate across sectors. 

But it’s not just about learning; it’s about building lifelong connections. The Landscape Leadership Workshop will be a unique networking platform, connecting you with fellow participants, renowned experts during GLF Nairobi, and potential new collaborators. You will have the opportunity to forge meaningful relationships, exchange ideas, stories, knowledge and hope, and be part of a supportive Africa-wide network that extends far beyond the duration of the program.

The full agenda of the workshop will be shared with the selected participants.

Africa’s youth are already champions for landscape action and community-based solutions. This means they have immense potential to forge a new development model and realize sovereign visions for the continent. 

 

If you are:

  • A student, young professional, expert or visionaire (18–35 years old); 
  • And a citizen of an African country;
  • And a passionate advocate for thriving peoples and landscapes;

Then this edition of the 2023 Landscape Leadership Workshop is for you! 

We would like to especially encourage individuals from underrepresented groups across Africa to apply.

CDKN, in partnership with the GLF and YIL, is launching a grant coupled with peer learning, mentoring and training opportunities to support the participation of underrepresented youth voices into global conversations and understanding of climate justice. 

As part of the application for the Landscape Leadership Workshop, you can also apply to be considered for this grant.

If selected, you will receive $2,000 to work towards realising your vision of a just climate future.

In addition, you will form part of a cohort of young artivists, activists, community-minded individuals and change makers from the majority world (predominantly Africa and including fellows from Indonesia and Brazil). 

Grantees will be encouraged to participate in a number of events, peer-learning, and training opportunities over a six-month period to grow and share their existing knowledge, expertise and learning amongst the cohort and more widely.

More information on the grant can be found here.

Applications are now closed.

There will be limited places at the workshop. Applications are now closed.

Some tips for your application: 

  • The application will take about seven (7) minutes to complete.  
  • You will need to submit a 1-minute video for the application answering the question: How can we achieve climate justice for Africa’s communities,  landscapes and seascapes?
  • If you would like to be considered for the CDKN grant opportunity, don’t forget to complete the grant section of the application form. You will be required to submit a budget breakdown to a maximum of $2,000.

Please note that all applicants will receive an automatic confirmation email, but only shortlisted candidates will be contacted beyond that.

If you have any issues with the application form, please contact the GLF Youth Communications Officer, Hyginus Laari.

Applications are now closed.

Here are  some answers to our most frequently asked questions. If you have any further questions, feel free to contact the GLF Youth Coordinator, Eirini Sakellari. 

What is the language of the application and the workshop?

The application form is in English, which will also be the working language of the workshop. 

How will you select workshop participants?

Applicants will be selected based on their passion and motivation, demonstrated interest in a landscape and climate justice issue or cause, clarity of responses, and ability to implement ideas and collaborate.

When will the workshop take place? 

Selected participants including awarded grantees are expected to attend the workshop in person on 9–10 October and the GLF Nairobi Hybrid Conference on 11–12 October. 

Will funding be available?

All travel, accommodation and associated attendance costs for the five awarded grantees will be covered. We further have a limited number of travel scholarships available to cover other participants’ travel, accommodation and associated attendance costs to and from Nairobi. We will award scholarships based on need and merit. The remaining delegates are expected to raise their own funds to attend, though our team will be available to assist with fundraising wherever possible.
