Professionals working with landscape issues, and young people, especially students, to develop their own integrated landscape visions and prepare for their futures [as] practitioners, policymakers and various other professionals within landscapes.

Global Landscapes Forum, Wageningen University, UN Environment Programme

“At the GLF [Global Landscapes Forum], we believe that learning is the foundation of long-lasting change. Through collaborative learning among diverse stakeholders, conflicts can be mediated and solved, and innovative solutions to global challenges can be created. This is at our core, and is why we are committed to building a vibrant global community of practitioners engaged in experimental and shared learning experiences. This is key for accelerating the integration of landscape approaches in national policy, civil society, corporations and international organizations.”
