\n The Global Landscapes Forum (GLF) continues on its path to spark a movement of
\n one
\n billion people around prosperous, equitable and resilient landscapes. The GLF
\n has
\n reached more than 700 million people from 185 countries, making it the world\u2019s
\n largest knowledge forum on integrated and sustainable land use. It continues to
\n break new ground with digital conferences and GLFx \u2013 a global network of local
\n chapters connecting online in dedicated communities of practice to take direct
\n action at a local level.\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

In 2019, the Global Landscapes Forum (GLF) ran five major events, attended by
\n over 3,000 people in person \u2013 with millions more engaging online.\n <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not too late for climate and landscapes\u201d was the message at GLF
\n Kyoto<\/strong>,
\n which streamed live across five continents. Kyoto mayor Daisaku Kadokawa pledged
\n the city would meet a target of zero emissions by 2050.<\/p>\n

GLF Bonn<\/strong> put rights in the landscape center stage. Participants
\n rallied behind
\n the recognition of indigenous and local communities\u2019 rights, and developed a
\n draft \u2018gold standard\u2019.<\/p>\n

\n In New York<\/strong>, key details for the upcoming UN Decade on
\n Ecosystem Restoration
\n were hammered out.<\/p>\n

In Ghana, GLF Accra<\/strong> shone a spotlight on successful African
\n restoration projects
\n at various scales.<\/p>\n

And at the fourth GLF Investment Case Symposium in Luxembourg<\/strong>,
\n participants
\n explored ways to bring sustainable land-use financing into the mainstream.<\/p>\n

At COP25 in Madrid<\/strong>, the GLF communications team brought
\n on-the-ground coverage to
\n the world, including live interviews with participants in the conference \u2013 and
\n activists outside it.<\/p>\n

We need to be a downpour. We need to be
\n a human flood over this next decade coming together in a peaceful
\n way to wash away much of the old world and make room for what must
\n now come next.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote><\/div>\n

Sparking conversation, igniting ambition<\/h3>\n

As the world\u2019s largest knowledge-led platform on sustainable land
\n use, GLF continues to find new ways to reach diverse people and
\n create impact.<\/p>\n

Youth in Landscapes<\/strong> launched a Youth 4 Rights
\n infobrief series, held
\n a \u2018hAccrathon\u2019 at GLF Accra and a Youth Dialogue on the UN Decade on
\n Ecosystem Restoration.<\/p>\n

In 2019 GLFx<\/strong>, a new digital platform for the Global
\n Landscapes Forum
\n community, was launched. It
\n is designed to enable and empower community members with the
\n connections, knowledge and technology to connect, share, learn and
\n act globally online and in person in their local community.<\/p>\n

Also this year, with support from the Sparkassen Foundation, a
\n state-of-the-art GLF Digital Broadcast Center<\/strong> was established at the
\n CIFOR-ICRAF GLF office in Bonn. The center produces cutting-edge
\n digital conferences and virtual events broadcast worldwide while
\n significantly reducing GLF\u2019s carbon footprint.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
