About GLF Africa 2024
Can Africa show the world a sustainable way forward? The climate crisis is taking a toll on Africa – and especially on rural communities that depend on natural resources for their livelihoods.
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
Africa holds key potential to advance global climate, biodiversity, and land degradation goals, yet it faces severe impacts from these crises despite contributing the least. This plenary gathers experts to explore the links between global environmental challenges and why Africa’s local solutions are vital to global success. It will also address the gap between top-down targets and local action, highlighting pathways to accelerate global impact.
