Measuring Progress
Over the past six years, the world’s largest banks have invested some USD 4.6 trillion in fossil fuels. This urgently needs to change – and in 2022, the GLF hosted two Digital Forums and the Value Chains Week campaign to call on private and public financiers to invest those funds in the planet instead. We’ve also been preparing for the upcoming 6th GLF Investment Case Symposium, to be held in March 2023.
Restoration
THIS WEEK’S FOCUS
Restoration
Measuring Progress
We can’t solve the climate and biodiversity crises without restoring the Earth’s damaged and degraded landscapes. In 2022, the GLF continued to push for the protection of biodiversity and the rights of the Indigenous Peoples and rural communities who steward it, which were consistent themes at our two conferences and four Digital Forums organized throughout the year.

THIS WEEK’S FOCUS
Measuring Progress
Measuring Progress
It’s already too late to stop climate change. Instead, the GLF has focused on finding solutions to mitigate and adapt to the unfolding crisis, including protecting the most vulnerable people from its impacts. These remedies were the main topic of the second edition of GLF Climate, held alongside COP27 in November.

Rights
THIS WEEK’S FOCUS
Rights
Measuring Progress
This year, the GLF called for a transition to a ‘stewardship economy’ – one that places the sustainable use and management of natural resources at the heart of markets, governments, and nonprofit decision making and practices. We also launched the third edition of the Restoration Stewards program and continued to grow our global network of local GLF chapters.
Food and livelihoods
THIS WEEK’S FOCUS
Food and livelihoods
Measuring Progress
This year, the GLF cast a spotlight on ways to tackle the growing global hunger crisis by restoring food sovereignty across the Global South. At the second edition of GLF Africa, we explored how the continent’s people hold the keys to their own food future.
