In October, there was a full week of engagement in Kenya between members of the Landscapes For Our Future (LFF) programme at our global summit. The event explored the rich solutions and innovations on offer across the LFF programme in addressing the global climate and biodiversity crises.
The one-week summit gathered project teams from all regions of our programme to share lessons learned, focusing on key capacity gaps and shining light on innovative solutions found across the programme. The event was attended by global experts on a variety of topics and was filled with engaging and focused capacity development workshops.

Event hosts
The Landscapes For Our Future Global Summit was 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
