Want to know more about GLFx and the local chapters?
GLFx chapters are independently organized local chapters, which foster action on the ground by empowering communities with the necessary technology, knowledge, and motivation to connect, share, learn, and act in their landscapes. As the world’s largest knowledge-led platform on sustainable land use, the GLF is on a mission to positively impact one billion people. GLFx is a movement that puts communities first in creating landscape-level change. GLFx is looking for change-makers ready to lead the movement in their local communities.
