Global Landscapes Forum Paris 2015
IUFRO at the Global Landscapes Forum Paris
5-6 December 2015, Paris, France
http://www.landscapes.org/glf-2015/
As world leaders convene in 2015 to agree on Sustainable Development Goals and a new climate deal, the Forum will leverage this historic opportunity to shape the world’s development agenda for decades to come. Over the past two years, the Global Landscapes Forum has evolved into the world’s leading platform for discussing land-use issues. In Paris, the Forum will bring together 2,500 stakeholders from across sectors, including forestry, agriculture, water, energy, law and finance.
The Forum is organized by a cross-sectoral consortium of leading international organizations. Over 100 organizations from across the globe will host Discussion Forums, Launchpads, LandscapesLabs and be part of a Thematic pavillion.
The 2015 Global Landscapes Forum is the leading platform for bringing together individuals and organizations that have an impact on land use. The event is expected to be the largest meeting on the sidelines of the UNFCCC COP21.
IUFRO is (co-)organizer of several events at the GLF.
