Ready to turn your passion for the planet into real-world action? UNCCD G20 Global Land Initiative is calling on young changemakers, dreamers, doers, students, teachers, innovators and anyone with a heart for the Earth to join The Knowledge Lounge for the Generation Restoration Dialogues — a thrilling series of live, global webinars launching 20 May 2025.

This isn’t just another Zoom call — it’s a movement.

The dialogue series is a 12-month virtual experience that brings together youth voices and world experts to unlock the power of land restoration — and how it connects to biodiversity, climate, food, jobs, culture and our collective future. Every month, we spotlight a new theme that ties into global environmental days, so you’ll always be one step ahead of the conversation.

Expect live stories from the frontlines of restoration, hands-on learning moments and real chances to lead, innovate and influence global action.

Kicking Off: 20 May 2025

Theme: What is Land Restoration?
Biodiversity is in focus as we dive into the basics: what land restoration really means, why it matters, the challenge it responds to and how it is fueling healthy ecosystems and livelihoods around the globe. Hear from young leaders and G20 Global Land Initiative partners who are already making big waves.
