Throughout 2019, the Global Landscapes Forum (GLF) will focus the world’s attention on the fundamental importance of securing rights to change the course of the current environmental crisis. In a series of events, the GLF will explore the essential contributions made by Indigenous Peoples and local communities, rural women and youth to the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the targets laid out in the Paris Agreement on climate change.

The aim is to highlight the transformative role of rights and rights-based approaches, and how they can contribute to a more just, sustainable and prosperous future for the global community through landscapes. These priorities will be the central focus of the annual GLF conference in Bonn, Germany on 22–23 June alongside the intersessional U.N. climate talks, making it the world’s single largest forum on rights and sustainable landscapes.
