Great Green Wall Initiative Receives More Than $14 Billion Boost to Green the Sahel
Officially launched in 2007, the Great Green Wall Initiative (GGW) aims to restore degraded landscapes across the Sahel. Since its launch, the African-led initiative has worked with a myriad of stakeholders to combat land degradation, desertification, and drought through the creation of an 8,000km long green wall spanning 11 countries, from Senegal to Djibouti. Led by France, the Great Green Wall Accelerator aims to “inject fresh momentum” into the ambitious initiative. In total, the Great Green Wall Initiative received $14.3 billion in new funding to scale up its efforts. Full story: ➡️https://www.theplanetarypress.com/2021/01/great-green-wall-initiative-receives-more-than-14-billion-boost-to-green-the-sahel/ “The GGW is yielding immediate benefits for the local communities and long-term ecosystem benefits at the international level. It shows that when countries dare to dream, work together and make the right choices, we can prosper and live in harmony with nature. And where innovative ideas emerge, positive, dramatic change that benefits both the local and international communities will happen,” said Executive Secretary of the UN Convention to Combat Desertification Ibrahim Thiaw.

Thank you very much for getting in touch with our team and for your interest In the Great Green Wall Initiative. We are pleased to learn of your interest to support the Great Green Wall initiative with the epic ambition to restore degraded lands and grow a 8000 km natural wonder of the world across the entire width of Africa. Here is our input: More than just growing trees and plants, the Great Green Wall is transforming the lives of millions of people in the Sahel region. The Great Green Wall isn’t just for the Sahel. It is a global symbol for humanity overcoming its biggest threat – our rapidly degrading environment. It shows that if we can work with nature, even in challenging places like the Sahel, we can overcome adversity, restore degraded lands to restore livelihoods and build a better world for generations to come. The Great Green Wall makes a vital contribution to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (known as the SDGs) - a global agenda which aims to achieve a more equitable and sustainable world by 2030.
