Event hosts
The Landscapes For Our Future Global Summit is being hosted by the Central Component of the Landscapes For Our Future programme.
The EU has commissioned the Center for International Forestry Research and World Agroforestry (CIFOR-ICRAF) to support the implementation of the 22 projects supported by Landscapes For Our Future. This ‘Central Component’ offers technical guidance to each of these projects, as well as helps to co-create, synthesize and disseminate knowledge and lessons from their implementation. Since reliable evidence on effective ILM practices, strategies and pathways is scarce and fragmented, the Central Component aims to assist policymakers and practitioners alike to develop and scale more impactful and inclusive landscape solutions.
The CC is structured into three core activity areas:
- Technical support
- Knowledge generation and communications
- Exchange and outreach
Venue
The Summit will be held on the campus of the World Agroforestry Centre, United Nations Avenue, Gigiri, Nairobi, Kenya.
Travel
All participants are required to facilitate their individual travel arrangements (flights, airport transfers, accommodation and per diem) to and from Kenya, and secure travel insurance during this period in case of any emergency medical attention and any other travel related risks through their respective project budgets.
For information on travel, visa requirements and accommodation, or to download invitations letters, please see our participant information page:
All international participants are encouraged to purchase their tickets early enough to ensure all other logistics are sorted out in good time. Note that many other events are being held in Nairobi in October.
