Peltier’s speech opened the Global Landscapes Forum (GLF) on 28 September, a bookend to Climate Week and the U.N. climate summit fueled by youth-led climate strikes worldwide, excoriating remarks from 16-year-old Greta Thunberg, and delegates marking the 2020s as the “climate decade.” Putting forward an antidote to these outcries, the forum focused on a proven solution to slowing global warming and combatting climate change: restoration of the Earth’s landscapes.
