GLF Africa 2025: Innovate, Restore, Prosper

Africa’s landscapes are facing a triple crisis: land degradation, biodiversity loss and the climate crisis. Nature is declining, land is struggling to support a growing population, policies are stalling, funding is diminishing, and land rights remain in limbo.

And yet, there are multiple opportunities to turn things around. Africa deserves healthy, resilient and prosperous landscapes, communities and economies – and it can achieve all of these by building a vibrant nature economy with the help of its rich natural capital, science and traditional knowledge, paired with good governance, meaningful partnerships, AI and big data.

Join our annual hybrid event to learn how Africa can build a thriving nature economy grounded in natural capital that works for nature and people. Discover new innovations and opportunities in Africa’s nature economy, and get inspired by like-minded people and thought leaders from across the continent and beyond.
