In 2050 we’ll have over 9 billion people to feed and the effects of climate change to take into account. The question isn’t so much “Will we fly hoverboards to work?” but more “Can we feed ourselves without destroying our planet?”
Key Project Accomplishments
A new initiative for restoring degraded land – the African Forest Landscape Restoration Initiative (AFR100) - was launched during COP21 in Paris. The goal of AFR100 is that 100 million hectares of land will be restored or in the process of being restored by 2030.
The UN-REDD programme recently launched a new online REDD+ training course for practitioners, policy makers and communities.
Four years ago in Bonn, world leaders set a goal of restoring 150 million hectares of deforested and degraded lands by 2020.

The motto of the Global Landscapes 2015 implies that everything is connected. Indeed, land use change and related issues are among major drivers of the changing climate. As the global leaders gather in Paris for the COP21, the Global Landscape Forum aims to leverage the opportunity to shape the global development agenda.
A team from the Regional Universities Forum for Capacity Building in Agriculture (RUFORUM) visited SLU on 17 November with the aim of strengthening existing and exploring new partnerships.
