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
To reverse global ecosystem degradation, the UN has declared the Decade on Ecosystem Restoration (2021–2030), led by FAO and UNEP. FAO is developing best practices and tools, while the Decade promotes moving from commitments to action through initiatives like the World Restoration Flagships.
In Africa, three Flagships—African Farmers Transforming Food Systems, the Great Green Wall, and Regreening Africa—have been recognized. This session, hosted by FAO and UNEP, will showcase tools and lessons from these projects to inspire and scale up restoration efforts across Africa.
