Descriptions

The Global Landscape Forum (GLF) aims to catalyze a movement that puts communities first in informing and addressing landscape-level issues. GLF provides a platform for often-marginalized voices from communities around the globe, particularly for women, youth, and rural, indigenous and local communities.

Robert Bosch Foundation supports GLF to facilitate inclusive knowledge-sharing to inspire action at the digital GLF conference on "Restoring Africa's Drylands" in June 2021 and through the launch of five new GLFx chapters in the Great Green Wall area in the Greater Sahel region, to grow a decentralized network of independently organized chapters who foster regular multi-stakeholder gathering to accelerate local restoration activities.
