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
Africa is grappling with land degradation, tenure insecurity and contested governance, which are undermining both restoration efforts and local livelihoods. Two-thirds of Africa’s productive land is degraded, exacerbating threats to food security and forcing millions to migrate from their ancestral landscapes.
In this session, we will unpack these interconnected land challenges and explore rooted approaches applied by locally-led organizations from the GLFx chapter network. Stay tuned to learn how these stewards are working to secure land tenure, strengthen governance and create inclusive and resilient restoration across Africa.
