CIFOR-ICRAF agenda | 8 September

This side event will highlight how Regreening Africa’s large-scale land restoration strengthens food security, advances climate adaptation and mitigation, and contributes to the implementation of the African Union Climate Strategy and the Great Green Wall (GGW) 2030 vision.

Through high-level dialogue with policymakers, researchers, grassroots voices, and technical experts, this event will explore tools to unlock scalable and equitable restoration for climate, biodiversity and resilient livelihoods – through investing in high-quality native tree seed and seedling systems, supporting locally driven restoration, channeling climate finance to grassroots actors, and fostering inclusive governance.
