GLF Africa 2024: Greening the African Horizon

17 September 2024

On 17 September, join us for a global conference to find out how Africa can navigate the future of three shifting landscapes: forests and savannas, drylands, and freshwater and oceans. In Nairobi, Kenya, or online from wherever you are, you’ll be joined by thousands of people gathered to forge a prosperous and sustainable future for Africa’s land- and seascapes, powered by local solutions.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

Nature is an important part of the solution: conserving and restoring ecosystems can prevent further degradation.

Elizabeth Mrema

Executive Secretary, UN Convention on Biological Diversity

The Decade has so many co-benefits for SDGs that go way beyond climate change. Restoration includes measures to create green jobs, help biodiversity, help farm income, stabilize water supply for big cities, stabilize food supply.

Tim Christophersen

Chair, UN Environment Global Partnership on Forest and Landscape Restoration

Like the rivers, we must continue to flow on - and the goal for this generation is restoration. It’s time to reconnect with nature, feel it, and act immediately

Niria Alicia Gracia

Xicana human rights advocate and Indigenous leader

Degraded landscapes negatively impact 3.2 million people and cost up to 10 percent of many countries’ GDP in lost ecosystem services….We need to act now. The situation is urgent. Time is not on our side.

Sir Robert Watson

Environmental scientist

Coordination adapts to the progress of the restoration, making it evolve. The process is long, that's why it requires an active collaboration of different stakeholders from the government and private sector.

Julien Noël Rakotoarisoa

Director General of Environmental Governance, Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development, Madagascar

We have seen more than 100 years of destruction of ecosystems, especially forests, and now it’s time to enter into 100 years of restoration – and this might be the first decade.

Jochen Flasbarth

German State Secretary for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety
