I'm happy to share that the GLF Africa 2024 focusing this year on Greening the African Horizon, will take place this year on September 17, 2024 in Nairobi, Kenya and online. Two years ago I had the pleasure of attending the GLF Africa 2022: How to How to build an equitable, resilient food future, and it was such a great experience that I would like to share this year's event here with my followers who might find it interesting. GLF Africa 2024 will focus on important topics to help Africa move towards a sustainable and successful future. This is based on ideas discussed at GLF Nairobi 2023 and aligns with key goals in the African Union Agenda 2063, as well as the results from the 2023 Africa Climate Week. The key themes of GLF Africa 2024 are: 📢 Scaling landscape restoration; 📢 Partnerships and finance for climate, biodiversity and land degradation neutrality;   📢 Sustainable agri-food systems;   📢 Rights and livelihoods in shifting landscapes; 📢 Technology and data driving #sustainability;  📢 Governing the just transition;       You can read more about the Global Landscapes Forum (GLF) and the conference in the post below.

Do you live in a country other than the country you were born in? One question people often asking me is this: "How is it to be a mom in Africa?" There’s NO WAY how can I fit in all the nuances of its ups and downs into a single post (plus Zambia is just ONE country in Africa!), but here's my try specifically about my life in Zambia: Ups: ✔ Having a full-time nanny & house help = no cleaning for me ✔Less unsolicited advice about parenting ✔Diversity of friends and cultures (and food!) ✔Being more creative in spending our free time ✔Get-aways at Victoria Falls or game resorts Downs: ✖ Power and water outages ✖Fewer opportunities for kids' activities and almost non-existent playgrounds ✖Expensive healthcare and schools ✖Grandparents far away ✖Air pollution I go by the philosophy that every seemingly negative thing can be a gift or opportunity to create something positive. For now, the ups outweigh the downs. And the truth is, even if we sometimes idealize our home countries, missing the “ups” from there, they come with their share of "downs" too. 🙏🏻 What are the ups and downs you’re experiencing in the country you live in? Share with me in the comments! Xo, Zuzana 💙🤎
