Join the GLF Africa 2024: Greening The African Horizon!
Africa is at the forefront of the climate crisis, facing extreme challenges from deforestation, land degradation, water scarcity, and rising sea levels. The continent’s forests, savannas, drylands, and oceans are critical to its survival, yet they are under immense pressure.
The GLF Africa 2024 conference hosted by the Global Landscapes Forum is a unique opportunity for individuals, leaders, scientists, and activists to come together and find solutions to these pressing issues. Taking place both in-person in Nairobi, Kenya, and online, the event will concentrate on three key landscapes: Forests and Savannas, Drylands and Freshwater and Oceans.
The GLF Africa 2024 will provide a unique platform to exchange ideas, share success stories, and build partnerships for a sustainable future. The event promises to bring together voices from across Africa, including local communities, youth leaders, policymakers, and environmental experts, to create a vision for Africa's green transformation.
