In the months preceding the GLF, participating organizations and individuals will connect, share, learn and act around five themes:
Organizations are welcome and encourage to host and facilitate side meeting before and during the GLF event, and then bring their results and recommendations to the Forum. A GLF secretariat will be on hand to identify and reserve appropriate Bonn venues. Webinars, engaging social media campaigns, competitions and pre-event discussions will generate momentum and interest in key issue areas to ensure that the GLF accelerates long-term action for sustainable landscapes.
The GLF will have a small secretariat in Bonn, Germany to coordinate all of the above, operated by CIFOR.
