About GLF Nairobi 2023: ‘A new Vision for Earth’

 

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.

 

About this session

 

This session gave the floor to people from across the Sahel to present local, sovereign solutions that have advanced the vision of the Great Green Wall: thriving rural communities in restored, healthy landscapes between Senegal and Djibouti. These include local tree-based value enterprises, farmer managed natural regeneration (FMNR) and grazing systems. A discussion on how these local solutions can be scaled and how the Great Green Wall can drive a change will follow.

About this session

 

This session discusses how smallholder farmers can contribute to deforestation-free supply chains. Speakers from Malawi, Rwanda and Kenya will share their grassroots expertise, visuals, and perspectives on how to support smallholder farmers to leverage nature-based solutions on their farms and integrate them into profitable business models. They also examine tree nurseries as a restoration business model, as well as share practical examples and best practices they have developed at the community level.

After two days of dialogue and debate, keynote speakers closed the GLF Biodiversity Digital Conference with a discussion on the tools and transitions needed to spark transformative change. What actions are most urgently needed? How can societies make the shift from exploiting to restoring biodiversity? How can linkages between sectors promote better personal, public and planetary health outcomes? Don’t miss this unique opportunity to learn, get inspired and prepare for the critical U.N. Decade on Ecosystem Restoration ahead.

]]> Millions, billions, trillions? How many trees does the world have to plant to address the climate crisis, while restoring the landscapes that provide humans with food and livelihoods? Trees perform a range of beneficial functions by storing carbon, absorbing pollution, protecting soil, regulating water supplies and supporting biodiversity. Scientists estimate that an additional 1 billion hectares of forest on the planet could even cut atmospheric carbon by about 25 percent. Yet tree planting is not a stand-alone solution in the fight against climate change and must be viewed among various strategies on the path to building resilient landscapes and a sustainable future.

Key Messages

• The right tree for the right place and the right purpose: Tree planters should become tree growers with a long-term time horizon.
• The right tree requires the right seed source. To plant and grow a diverse range of trees means having quality seeds available in the necessary quantities.
• Tree planting is one tool in the fight against climate change and must be supported by other measures, such as carbon emissions reduction and forest conservation.
• Technology and techniques – drones, smartphone apps, remote imaging – accelerate the planting process and provide essential information on potential sites, growth monitoring and natural regeneration.
• Inclusion of local communities, women and youth is vital in the decision-making process to help ensure the survival of a planted tree.

]]> The right tree for the right place and the right purpose.

Trees (provenances, species genotypes) from the right seed sources should be suited to their purpose and environment. Planters, whether individuals or communities, should carefully consider what they wish to achieve, and what their actions may imply in terms of cultivation and management, and possible effects apart from the main purpose, including effects of societal, environmental and biodiversity value.
