GLF Africa 2025: Innovate, Restore, Prosper

19 June 2025 | 20+ sessions hosted by 50+ partners

GLOBAL HYBRID CONFERENCE
Africa holds two-thirds of the world’s arable land. How can it build an economy that keeps this land healthy for future generations?

On 19 June at GLF Africa 2025: Innovate, Restore, Prosper, we explored how the continent can build a thriving nature economy to tackle the triple crisis of climate change, biodiversity loss, and land degradation.

Continue connecting with 5,000 changemakers from across sectors as they explore key topics such as AI, blockchain and open data, sustainable finance, agroforestry and regenerative agriculture, land tenure rights, and more.
