Paris, France
As delegates at UNFCCC COP21 hashed out a new climate deal and debated how best to meet the new Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), more than 3,200 scientists, policymakers, and stakeholders from forestry, agriculture, water, energy, law and finance sectors came together for the third annual Global Landscapes Forum (GLF). Launched by a cross-sectoral consortium of international organizations and led by the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR), the Forum united 148 organizations from across the globe to exchange ideas through discussion forums, thematic pavilions, a launchpad featuring 12 new initiatives and knowledge products, and a landscape laboratory introducing the newest technology for understanding land use.
