The world's biggest land restoration programming
The Global EverGreening Alliance, the Government of Zambia, AFR100, African Natural Capital Alliance (ANCA), FSD Africa, and the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration, is hosting the world's largest land restoration programming conference, bringing together NGOs, governments, the private sector, technical and scientific experts, and community representatives – some of the biggest change makers and action-takers in the world!
This spectacular event will take place next to one of the world's most extraordinary natural wonders – Victoria Falls – where participants will have the opportunity to deepen their understanding of GEA's Restore programs, including the complementary skills and capacities of implementing partners, community-led planning, and carbon offsetting methodologies and finance.
There will be opportunities to go into the field, meet local beneficiaries, take a deep dive into topics such as Article 6 of the Paris Agreement, and learn from technical experts and thought leaders from around the world.
