This September, the GLF Africa 2024 Hybrid Conference: Greening the African Horizon, hosted by the Global Landscapes Forum (GLF), will be the epicenter of knowledge and action on how the continent can pave a sustainable way forward for all of humanity.
Africa’s tropical forest and savanna landscapes are threatened by unsustainable land use practices and degrading at unprecedented rates.
Around 40% of Africans face climate change, increasing desertification and economic marginalization in the continent’s drylands and the Sahel.
Although African freshwater, marine and coastal landscapes have a projected value of $405 billion by 2030, they are threatened by degradation and water insecurity.
The continent’s challenges are significant, but so are its people’s talent and expertise.
Co-creating knowledge and driving action at GLF Africa 2024
On 17 September, thousands of in-person and online participants will gather for an enthralling experience, exploring Africa’s shifting landscapes through transformative locally-led solutions, insightful debates, workshops and cultural showcases.
Highlights from the conference agenda include:
Africa’s growing young population is a driving force for landscape restoration. Youth landscape leadership can be a major catalyst for positive change, challenging conventional norms and advocating for stewardship mindset and practices.
Some exciting youth sessions at GLF Africa 2024 include:
We will also announce the winners of the 2024 African Youth Storytelling Contest, which brings together young creators from across the continent to share stories to inspire a brighter and bolder future for Africa. The top 10 entries will be featured at GLF Africa 2024 and on the GLF website and social media channels.
