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
Across Africa, young leaders are restoring ecosystems, uplifting communities and reimagining a more resilient future. This inspiring video brings together voices from East Africa’s drylands and forests – each sharing a unique story of transformation.
From Kenya, we hear how ecofeminism is inspiring women to pursue sustainable agriculture and community-based restoration, while in Rwanda, digital media offers a vital tool for young people to amplify local action.
Meanwhile, in Uganda, forest restoration takes root through school food forests, innovative waste management and environmental education. Lastly, we return to Rwanda to meet young people restoring their country’s drylands and building climate resilience.
