Can Africa show the world a sustainable way forward?

The climate crisis is taking a toll on Africa – and especially on rural communities that depend on natural resources for their livelihoods.

How should the continent respond to these challenges, and what lessons can it teach the rest of humanity?

On 17 September, join us for a global conference to find out how Africa can navigate the future of three shifting landscapes: forests and savannas, drylands, and freshwater and oceans.

In Nairobi, Kenya, or online from wherever you are, you’ll be joined by thousands of people gathered to forge a prosperous and sustainable future for Africa’s land- and seascapes, powered by local solutions.
