About GLF Africa 2024

 

Can Africa show the world a sustainable way forward? The climate crisis is taking a toll on Africa – and especially on rural communities that depend on natural resources for their livelihoods.

On 17 September, thousands of participants gathered at ‘GLF Africa 2024: Greening the African Horizon’ in Nairobi, Kenya, and online for a global conference focused on forging a prosperous and sustainable future for Africa’s land- and seascapes, driven by local solutions.

 

About this session

 

Despite the limited climate and development funding directly channeled to local organizations, communities in the Global South are restoring their territories as a living legacy for their people’s present and future. Rooted in their landscapes, local organizations leverage ancestral wisdom, cooperation and available resources to make positive change happen.

Beyond tackling immediate environmental issues, community-led restoration models have proven to seed lasting change and repair long-neglected social injustices. How are grassroots initiatives leading holistic action towards restoration and development targets at regional and global levels? What can climate funds and development aid agencies learn from them to match community efforts and achieve long-term impact?

Featuring GLFx chapters and Restoration Stewards, this session delves into what local organizations need to achieve lasting impact – and how funds should be allocated and targets defined to support grassroots restoration initiatives.

Join the mangrove restoration movement

 

Explore the essence of mangrove restoration in this webinar recording hosted by GLFx Mindanao and Oceanus Conservation on International Mangrove Day.

The International Day for the Conservation of the Mangrove Ecosystem is celebrated every year on 26 July, and aims to raise awareness of the importance of mangrove ecosystems as “a unique, special and vulnerable ecosystem” and to promote solutions for their sustainable management, conservation and uses.

Gain insights from mangrove restoration experts:

  • Dr. Rupesh Bhomia, a CIFOR-ICRAF scientist renowned for his expertise in tropical freshwater swamps;
  • Agatha Maxine Bedi, a Mangrove specialist from the Geospatial Database Office of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR)
  • Roberto Ballon, a community environmentalist and 2021 Ramon Magsaysay Awardee, who shares experiences from the frontlines of mangrove reforestation through the Association of Small Fisherfolk of Concepcion (KGMC).

Learn about the best community-led practices and discover the crucial factors determining the ideal time for mangrove planting.

About GLF Nairobi 2023: ‘A new Vision for Earth’

 

The GLF Nairobi 2023 Hybrid Conference, held on October 11 and 12, convened global thought leaders to set the stage for COP28, the upcoming UN Climate Change Conference. This pivotal event mobilised action on critical issues affecting humanity, biodiversity, and our planet.

The conference featured two focused days: Day 1 centered on “Africa’s Sovereign Solutions,” exploring pathways to a sustainable and prosperous future for the continent. Day 2, dedicated to climate, aimed to craft a “Survival Guide for a Planet in Crisis,” paving the way for a fairer world ahead of COP28.

GLF Nairobi brought together a diverse coalition of influential voices, ranging from scientists, activists, and Indigenous leaders to financiers, women, youth, policymakers, and private sector representatives. As a united front, we collectively championed change and passionately advocated for meaningful action in these pivotal times.

 

About Voices of the Landscape Vol. 2
