About GLF Africa 2024
On 17 September, thousands of participants gathered at ‘GLF Africa 2024: Greening the African Horizon’ in Nairobi, Kenya, and online for a global conference focused on forging a prosperous and sustainable future for Africa’s land- and seascapes, driven by local solutions.
About this session
As the world turns its attention to the upcoming global climate, biodiversity and land summits, we look at the landscapes and livelihoods of local communities in Africa, that hold the keys to securing a sustainable, resilient, and prosperous future for the continent and beyond.
This plenary reflects on what is needed for Africa to leverage local knowledge and action on the ground to advance global climate, biodiversity, and land ambitions while securing the rights and livelihoods of its communities. It will centre community stewardship at the heart of regional and global agendas, and discuss the strategies and resources needed to harness the power of local solutions, bridging the gap between local realities and global processes to forge a prosperous and sustainable future for Africa.
