Overview

The Global Landscapes Forum (GLF) was first launched in 2013 by CIFOR-ICRAF with core partners including UNEP, the World Bank, and funded by the Government of Germany, Government of Canada, Government of Luxembourg, and the Global Environment Facility (GEF).

Today, the GLF - with 35 of the world’s leading development and environmental organizations engaged as Charter Members - has become the world’s largest knowledge led forum on sustainable landscapes, dedicated to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, the Paris Climate Agreement and the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. Since its inception in 2013, the GLF has connected more than 25,000 organizations, 1.3 million youth, 100 governments and millions engaged from 185 countries, while cumulatively reaching more than 4 billion people through social and traditional media.

Having mainstreamed the landscape approach, the GLF has evolved to scale local knowledge and action towards ecosystem restoration and sustainable development through sustainable finance, learning, youth and locally led development (GLFx). Through its innovative digital communication platforms and the recently launched AI Hub of regional experts, GLF is convening a global movement of 1 billion people.

GLF is a place where a farmer can inform action, pathways, and policies; where international organizations can learn from the private sector and vice versa; and where CEOs, community leaders, policymakers, journalists, influencers and scientists can share, learn, connect, and act together for a better world.
