GLF Africa 2025: Innovate, Restore, Prosper
How can nature power Africa’s present and future? Africa holds two-thirds of the world’s arable land – yet its landscapes face land degradation, biodiversity loss, and climate threats. But there’s hope. With natural capital, science, traditional knowledge, and innovation, Africa can build a thriving nature economy that works for both people and the planet.
Join our annual hybrid event to explore how. Discover bold ideas, fresh solutions, and inspiring leaders driving Africa’s green future.
