\nOverview<\/h4>\n
\nThe Global Landscapes Forum (GLF) is a partnership initiative led by CIFOR through its GLF Team. The team is based in the new CIFOR office in Bonn, Germany, and the CIFOR headquarters in Indonesia. The GLF Team is responsible for delivery on all GLF activities, and for expanding the GLF partnership and community.<\/div>\n
\nThe Global Landscapes Forum (GLF) is the world\u2019s largest multi\u2010stakeholder platform on integrated landscapes and aims to create a movement of one billion people around productive, prosperous, equitable and resilient landscapes. Founded by CIFOR, UN Environment, and the World Bank, with 23 charter members among the world\u2019s leading development organizations, and core funding provided by the German Government, the GLF operates from a Secretariat in Bonn, and focuses on five main themes: restoration, finance, rights, food and livelihoods, and measuring progress.<\/div>\n
\nSince 2013, over 180,000 stakeholders from more than 4,900 organizations and 185 countries have engaged with the GLF in person and online, with stakeholders from community and indigenous peoples\u2019 organizations, finance, civil society, government, media, and youth. We have reached over 600 million people online and through traditional media. The GLF is founded on four principles: connecting, sharing, learning and acting, and has produced global conferences in the following cities: Warsaw, Lima, London, Paris, Marrakech, Jakarta, Bonn, Washington DC, Nairobi, Katowice, and Kyoto, as well as in Bonn, New York, Accra, Luxembourg and Madrid in 2019.<\/div>\n
\nFrom building the investment case for sustainable landscapes and developing a gold standard for indigenous peoples\u2019 rights, to supporting the Decade on Ecosystem Restoration, the GLF has been at the cutting edge in hosting and facilitating all manner of discussions to accelerate positive action for people, for the environment, and for the achievement of global climate and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).<\/div>\n
\nTogether we will create a global force to contribute to achieving the SDGs and climate agenda by creating a positive vision of what we can do if we all work together.<\/div>\n
\nThe GLF believes in the unique change-making capacity of young people and seeks to foster a strong youth community of practice through the Youth in Landscapes Initiative and the execution of youth-led programs.<\/div>\n
\nThe Youth in Landscapes Initiative (YIL) is a partnership for young landscape leaders currently coordinated by the Young Professionals for Agricultural Development (YPARD), the International Forestry Students\u2019 Association (IFSA) and the Global AgroEcology Alliance (GAEA). YIL exists to unite and empower youth (aged 18\u201335 years) from diverse backgrounds around the world to have a voice, learn, and effect positive change in their landscapes and livelihoods. YIL accomplishes this through a focus on leadership training, capacity building, community building, mentorship and fostering intergenerational dialogue.<\/div>\n
