On 9 and 10 October, the 2023 Landscape Leadership Workshop was held in Nairobi, Kenya, to set the scene for the GLF Nairobi 2023 Hybrid Conference: A New Vision for Earth. Co-designed by the Global Landscapes Forum (GLF), the Youth in Landscapes Initiative (YIL), and the Climate and Development Knowledge Network (CDKN), the workshop brought together 45 brilliant young minds from Africa and around the world selected from over 700 applicants to drive impactful and transformative change.
Together, we brainstormed out of the box to find landscape solutions to the climate crisis, biodiversity loss, social injustices and other major challenges. We held hands while sharing our feelings about the world. We harnessed the power of art to challenge dominant narratives. We will forever cherish the memories we made, and we will continue to nourish these new relationships with care.

About the Restoration Experiences Digital Forum
The climate and biodiversity crises are already affecting people and landscapes around the world. But there’s one natural remedy that can tackle them both: restoring degraded and damaged landscapes.
There are already countless restoration projects that are turning degraded landscapes into beacons of hope and resilience. At the Restoration Experiences Digital Forum, we got the chance to get to know some of these projects and meet the people behind them.
Discover how local restoration projects are reshaping landscapes globally, and get inspired to start your own!
Project Presentations Unveiled
These slides showcase the presentations delivered by each restoration experience project. Get to know these amazing restoration champions, and discover the valuable lessons embedded in their successes and challenges. Dive into the milestones that define their journey, and embrace the friendly calls to action they passionately support.
This document summarizes a sustainable grass-fed beef production model in Colombia. It describes using improved genetics to increase cattle productivity and yield on fewer hectares of land. The model aims to maximize resource use through regenerative agricultural practices like automated stolon planting. It also focuses on holistic sustainability through benefits to society, environment, and economy while ensuring animal welfare and landscape preservation. Carbon footprint analysis found the system results in negative emissions and removes more carbon from the atmosphere than it emits.
The document discusses the AGRI3 Fund, which aims to catalyze $1 billion of public and private capital to support sustainable agriculture, forest protection, and rural livelihoods. The Fund provides guarantees and loans to commercial banks, development finance institutions, and microfinance institutions to de-risk eligible transactions that promote these goals. It is a joint effort between Rabobank, UNEP, FMO, and IDH, and has received $80 million from the Dutch government and Rabobank. The Fund works by providing up to $300 million in guarantees to partner banks to catalyze $1 billion in private commercial debt for sustainable land use projects. It also discusses the challenges of aligning incentives between impact goals and
The document discusses a session on scaling finance for ecosystem restoration. It describes the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration, which aims to support restoration efforts worldwide from 2021-2030. It also describes the UN Decade Finance Task Force, comprised of 14 members including the World Bank, which seeks to incentivize public and private investments in restoration and create enabling conditions. The task force has produced a stocktake report that identifies emerging solutions to close the financing gap such as harnessing the private sector's growing interest and using innovative instruments and blended finance approaches.
The Restoration Seed Capital Facility (RSCF) provides early-stage funding to support private fund managers and projects focused on forest and landscape restoration, with the goal of mobilizing more private investment in nature; so far the RSCF has supported 7 projects across multiple regions, leading to over $50 million in additional investment; however, challenges remain around the resource intensity required for fund and project development at the necessary scale of investment.
1) Acorn helps smallholder farmers transition to agroforestry by measuring carbon removal from their farms, certifying it as carbon removal units (CRUs), and facilitating access to buyers. Farmers receive 80% of CRU sale proceeds, with 10% going to local partners and 10% to Acorn.
2) One Acre Fund is working on a pilot project in Zambia to involve smallholder farmers in agroforestry and carbon markets. Farmers would plant trees and receive payments for tree survival in the first 3 years, then carbon payments starting in year 4 based on carbon sequestered. Monitoring would be done through in-person and remote sensing.

The document discusses building an ecosystem services program in the Leuser Ecosystem in Indonesia. It notes that the Leuser Conservation Forum has grown to 400 staff over 10 years but does not receive continuous funding. The Rimba Collective could provide long-term funding by treating environmental outcomes as assets. However, it is difficult for the Forum to build programs that meet the Collective's requirements. Instead, a business partner could build the program, operate it for a set period, and transfer environmental outcomes to the Collective, bridging the gap between the Forum's work and the Collective's needs.
The Sustainable Fibre Alliance (SFA) is a certification initiative for the cashmere industry with over 230 member organizations across 11 countries and 5 continents. Their vision is for cashmere production to minimize environmental impacts, safeguard herder livelihoods, and meet high welfare standards. The SFA has developed a global standard for cashmere certification that covers areas like biodiversity, land use, goat welfare, decent work, and fibre quality. Their certification process provides herder-level and supply chain-level certification, as well as chain of custody guidelines. Looking ahead, the SFA's strategic priorities until 2030 are to grow their reach and membership, maintain credibility, demonstrate impact, and expand the scope of their certification initiative
