Africa at the Global Earth Repair Convergence

Africa at the Global Earth Repair Convergence

/by

The African Segment of the Global Earth Repair Convergence, running 8–10 May 2026 online via Zoom, under the theme Repairing Landscapes, Agriculture,  Livelihoods & Systems. It sits within the broader global event (7–11 May), which draws 500+ in-person participants in Washington State and thousands more online worldwide.

The three-day programme:

  • Day 1 – Repairing Landscapes: Ground-level practitioner voices on what’s actually working in African soils, watersheds, and ecosystems.
  • Day 2 – Repairing Food Systems & Communities: Agroecology, seeds, local markets, and community-led food systems restoring both land and livelihoods.
  • Day 3 – Repairing Systems: Finance, technology, funding frameworks, and the infrastructure needed to scale restoration across the continent.

Each day has two sessions — a morning slot (9:00–11:30 CAT) focused on keynotes and practitioner knowledge, and an evening slot (17:00–18:55 CAT) for panels, breakouts, and collective discussion.

Why it matters: Africa hosts some of the world’s most critical ecosystems and most innovative restoration practitioners, yet African voices have historically been marginalised in global environmental and agricultural conversations. The online format is a deliberate choice removing barriers of travel in these troubled times so that we can all bring our voices on board.

The core argument: the solutions to the planetary crisis are already being practised across Africa — this event exists to make that visible, connected, and fundable.
