BACKGROUND
The GLF is the first global movement of its kind and the world’s largest science-led multi-sectoral platform on landscapes, bringing together world leaders, climate negotiators, policy makers, development practitioners, private sector representatives. Since 2013, over 25,000 stakeholders from more than 3,000 organizations and 110 countries have engaged with the GLF. Over the next five years, with major support from the German government and with the support of strategic partners, the GLF will grow, enrich the discussion. Our next event is GLF Nairobi—Forest and Landscape Restoration in #Africa: Prospects and Opportunities, 29-30 August, Nairobi, Kenya.
GLF NAIROBI, KENYA
The GLF regional conference “Landscape Restoration in Africa: Prospects and Opportunities” will seek to maximize the dialogue that has already achieved such success. Through the prism of rights, finance, food and livelihoods and measuring progress, the conference will focus attention on to areas with the greatest potential for deliverable results. The event will amplify the political momentum already amassed behind landscape restoration and drive forward regional cooperation. Rooted in cutting-edge environmental science, the event will spark a grassroots movement across Africa, designed to achieve dynamic, inclusive and sustainable development across the continent.
