To reach global restoration goals, we’ll need to have the right policies in place. At the @FoluRImpact annual meeting, experts Maggie Gonzalez and Duncan Okowa share how the Landscape #PolicyAccelerator is working with governments to incentivize people to restore land 🌱

Chris Brett , Lead Agribusiness Specialist at the World Bank and joint team leader of FOLUR, attending the 7th GEF Assembly in Vancouver, says changing the narrative on deforestation in eight commodity value chains is vital #GEFassembly2023 Global Environment Facility (GEF) Chris Brett #forests

Coming up! Martien van Nieuwkoop, Global Director Agriculture and Food, World Bank to speak on Food Systems Transformation panel at Global Environment Facility (GEF) Assembly. GEF is one of the largest funders of food systems transformation. #GEFAssembly2023 #foodsystems

Must get serious about sustainable use of biodiversity, including food waste, building healthy soils. Focusing on soil is smart because it can help drive change in all three Rio Conventions: @honahmedhussen, Canada’s Minister of International Development #GEFassembly2023 #soil

Why focus on women and youth for land restoration? Agriculture is the most important sector for women in Africa! Women work harder to secure income for their families and have a better indigenous knowledge of how to adapt to climate change.

Thanks from Chris Brett to Eliane Ubalijoro for an inspiring talk at our World Bank Landscapes for a livable planet pavilion! Global Landscapes Forum (GLF) are a key partner in the movement towards more sustainable #foodsystems #ThinkLandscape
