Plenary - Voices of the Landscape GLF Bonn 2019

It’s time to recognize the unsung heroes, big and small, who take a stand for their landscapes and their environment. Across the globe, local communities and Indigenous Peoples – particularly rural women and youth – are writing stories of resilience and success by mobilizing their communities to drive projects of immense impact. Speakers in this GLF Bonn 2019 plenary answer the question: how does visionary leadership at a community level give rise to the radical ideas that generate sweeping positive change?
