Deadline: December 1, 2017
Do you believe your voice needs to be heard? Are you the next big thing in blogging? Enter your best 500-1000 words here by December 1, 2017 for a chance to win 500 USD and a trip to the global GLF event in Bonn, December 19-20, 2017. Runners-up will be featured on Landscapes News.
There are all kinds of things under the sun to write about when it comes to the landscape approach, so to narrow things down there are six thematic prompts on the following topics: peatlands, food & livelihoods, finance, restoration, rights, and measuring progress. You can choose from one of many of these themes.
Thousands of participants from all over the world will come together to participate in our 2017 event, with thousands more tuning in online. With representatives from the private sector, NGOs, leading international organizations, government and more, along with an online social media campaign that will reach millions through Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and live streaming, the GLF can put your work at the center of the world’s stage.
The Global Landscapes Forum the world’s largest science-led multi-sectoral platform for integrated land use, is moving to Bonn. We are very excited to make Bonn our home for the next five years, and will be hosting GLF Bonn 2017 on the 19th and 20th of December to define the next five years of the GLF and impact the future of our planet and our children.
This is not your typical conference. We are turning old approaches on their heads.
You’ll be front and center for the launch of the UN Environment Program’s Interfaith Rainforest Initiative, which seeks to unite the world’s major faith communities for the protection of tropical forests. You’ll participate in lively interactive sessions with the World Bank, World Resources Institute (WRI), the International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT), Global Canopy Programme (GCP), PUR Projet, Rare, The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), African Union, Rabobank, Indigenous Peoples Major Group and more. You’ll exchange ideas with thought-provoking keynote speakers and help us put communities and local realities at the center of the conversation.
