Details
Since COP21, 31 African countries have committed to restore 128 million hectares of degraded land through AFR100. Their goal? Improve food security, spur rural prosperity, and address climate change while adapting to its impacts. Thousands of community-based organizations and entrepreneurs are ready, but they need serious and nimble finance. Join Wanjira Mathai from World Resources Institute and high-level guests for a look at the second phase of AFR100 and Africa's top locally led restoration projects.
