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.

 

About this session

 

This session showcases real-world experiences and strategies in scaling up farmer-managed natural regeneration (FMNR) in Kenya and Ethiopia. Highlighting the role of communities, governments and development partners, the session explores insights from the FMNR Scaling Manual and WV International’s atingi e-learning module. Through case presentations, dialogue and reflection, we will identify key opportunities, challenges and enablers to grow FMNR across Africa to advance forest and landscape restoration goals based on these East African case studies.
