In partnership with the Government of the United Kingdom, the GLF is organizing the hybrid conference GLF Climate: Forests, Food and Finance – Frontiers of Change. The event will take place in Glasgow, Scotland, on the sidelines of the 26th session of the UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26) to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. This event aims to:
• Accelerate action toward achieving the Paris Agreement’s climate goals. The conference will gather the climate champions of past events run by the GLF and bring together the GLF community of 250,000 people from 185 countries in order to identify those positive tipping points that are needed to keep the planet habitable.
• Showcase evidence that landscape approaches are a great way to accelerate action, as they deliver mitigation and adaptation successes, without compromising on local livelihoods and human rights. We will be inspired by local climate heroes, amplify the voices of local stewards and Indigenous Peoples, and discover the key to their success.
• Tackle seemingly incompatible trade-offs and address real barriers to landscape progress. Together, we will create new alliances and synergies between forests, food and finance, and trigger the integrated action that is needed to change.
