Get a head start on 2022

We’ve spent the year pushing for real climate action, hosting three major hybrid and digital conferences and launching new partnerships for land restoration and sustainable finance. We also offered funding, mentorship and training to six Restoration Stewards, as well as announcing our next cohort for 2022. Meanwhile, our global GLFx community has grown from 1,000 members at the start of the year to over 4,000 today, with four new chapters receiving seed funding from the Robert Bosch Stiftung. Relive the past year by checking out our round-up of 2021.
