Local peoples’ perspectives on the effectiveness of REDD+ in changing land us...CIFOR-ICRAF
REDD+ effectiveness is commonly assessed through recorded emission reductions within a given period and area. This paper proposes a novel approach to evaluate REDD+ effectiveness, where greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions are determined through self-reporting of changes in land use activities and natural resource management that generate these emissions.

On 9 and 10 October, the 2023 Landscape Leadership Workshop was held in Nairobi, Kenya, to set the scene for the GLF Nairobi 2023 Hybrid Conference: A New Vision for Earth. Co-designed by the Global Landscapes Forum (GLF), the Youth in Landscapes Initiative (YIL), and the Climate and Development Knowledge Network (CDKN), the workshop brought together 45 brilliant young minds from Africa and around the world selected from over 700 applicants to drive impactful and transformative change.
Together, we brainstormed out of the box to find landscape solutions to the climate crisis, biodiversity loss, social injustices and other major challenges. We held hands while sharing our feelings about the world. We harnessed the power of art to challenge dominant narratives. We will forever cherish the memories we made, and we will continue to nourish these new relationships with care.

About the Restoration Experiences Digital Forum
The climate and biodiversity crises are already affecting people and landscapes around the world. But there’s one natural remedy that can tackle them both: restoring degraded and damaged landscapes.
There are already countless restoration projects that are turning degraded landscapes into beacons of hope and resilience. At the Restoration Experiences Digital Forum, we got the chance to get to know some of these projects and meet the people behind them.
Discover how local restoration projects are reshaping landscapes globally, and get inspired to start your own!
Project Presentations Unveiled
These slides showcase the presentations delivered by each restoration experience project. Get to know these amazing restoration champions, and discover the valuable lessons embedded in their successes and challenges. Dive into the milestones that define their journey, and embrace the friendly calls to action they passionately support.

This session provides a comprehensive overview of the latest updates to the Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (commonly known as the Uniform Guidance) outlined in the 2 CFR 200.
With a focus on the 2024 revisions issued by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), participants will gain insight into the key changes affecting federal grant recipients. The session will delve into critical regulatory updates, providing attendees with the knowledge and tools necessary to navigate and comply with the evolving landscape of federal grant management.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand the rationale behind the 2024 updates to the Uniform Guidance outlined in 2 CFR 200, and their implications for federal grant recipients.
- Identify the key changes and revisions introduced by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in the 2024 edition of 2 CFR 200.
- Gain proficiency in applying the updated regulations to ensure compliance with federal grant requirements and avoid potential audit findings.
- Develop strategies for effectively implementing the new guidelines within the grant management processes of their respective organizations, fostering efficiency and accountability in federal grant administration.
