CIFOR-ICRAF
The Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) and World Agroforestry (ICRAF) envision a more equitable world where trees in all landscapes, from drylands to the humid tropics, enhance the environment and well-being for all. CIFOR and ICRAF are non-profit science institutions that build and apply evidence to today’s most pressing challenges, including energy insecurity and the climate and biodiversity crises. Over a combined total of 65 years, we have built vast knowledge on forests and trees outside of forests in agricultural landscapes (agroforestry). Using a multidisciplinary approach, we seek to improve lives and to protect and restore ecosystems. Our work focuses on innovative research, partnering for impact, and engaging with stakeholders on policies and practices to benefit people and the planet. Founded in 1993 and 1978, CIFOR and ICRAF are members of CGIAR, a global research partnership for a food secure future dedicated to reducing poverty, enhancing food and nutrition security, and improving natural resources.

The Global Landscapes Forum (GLF) was first launched in 2013 by CIFOR-ICRAF with core partners including UNEP, the World Bank, and the Government of Germany. Meaningful engagement of youth and other typically marginalised stakeholders was a cornerstone of GLF’s operation from the beginning.
Today, the GLF – with 35 of the world’s leading development and environmental organisations engaged as Charter Members – has become the world’s largest knowledge led forum on sustainable land use, restoration and integrated landscape management, dedicated to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030, the Paris Climate Agreement and the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. Since its inception in 2013, the GLF has connected more than 25,000 organisations, 1.3 million youth, 100 governments and millions engaged from 185 countries, while cumulatively reaching more than 2.9 billion people through social and traditional media.
Building on a decade of successful conferencing during which we achieved the mainstreaming of the landscape approach, the GLF has evolved to three workstream pillars that support decentralised local action towards ecosystem restoration and sustainable development. These include: 1) Accelerating Community Action and Strengthening Youth Leadership through the GLFx chapter network, Restoration Stewards and Youth in Landscapes Initiative (YIL); 2) Scaling Landscape Action through i) Learning (Landscape Academy) and ii) Sustainable Finance; 3) Growing the Global Movement through digital transformation, encompassing innovative digital communications, events and campaigns.
GLF is a place where a farmer can inform action, pathways, and policies; where international organisations can learn from the private sector and vice versa; and where CEOs, community leaders, communicators and scientists can share, learn, connect, and act together.
From building the investment case for sustainable landscapes, to conserving and restoring peatlands, to supporting restoration in Africa, GLF has been at the cutting edge in hosting and facilitating all manner of discussions to accelerate positive action for people, for the environment, and for the achievement of global climate and SDGs.
The primary objective of the Global Landscapes Forum interns is to provide support to the relevant GLF team, according to their expertise and interest. Interns tasks vary from team to team, as seen below:
