GLF Nairobi 2023 Hybrid Conference: A New Vision for Earth | Outcome Statement

About the GLF Nairobi 2023 Hybrid Conference

The GLF Nairobi 2023 Hybrid Conference, held on October 11 and 12, convened global thought leaders to set the stage for COP28, the upcoming UN Climate Change Conference. This pivotal event mobilised action on critical issues affecting humanity, biodiversity, and our planet.

The conference featured two focused days: Day 1 centered on Africa’s sovereign solutions, exploring pathways to a sustainable and prosperous future for the continent. Day 2, dedicated to climate, aimed to craft a survival guide for a planet in crisis, paving the way for a fairer world ahead of COP28.

GLF Nairobi brought together a diverse coalition of influential voices, ranging from scientists, activists, and Indigenous leaders to financiers, women, youth, policymakers, and private sector representatives. As a united front, we collectively championed change and passionately advocated for meaningful action in these pivotal times.
