Our report, on « The Untapped Potential of Great Green Wall Value Chains », together with our partner Archipel&Co, was released during United Nations Climate Week in New York and World Economic Forum Sustainable Development Impact Meetings. 

This report, commissioned by WEF 1t.org initiative, explores the untapped opportunities from tree crop value chains in the Sahel’s Great Green Wall – one of the most ambitious land restoration projects in the world. 

The Great Green Wall is a pan-african initiative launched by the African Union to fight desertification and ensure food security in the Sahel, aiming to restore 100 million ha of degraded lands, sequester 250 million tons of carbon, and create 10 million jobs.

Our report calls on stakeholders to pursue an action agenda to leverage commercially-viable landscape restoration in the region and support systemic value chain development.

It identifies leverages towards economic development, climate action and biodiversity protection and women empowerment, more specifically in crops such as baobab, balanites, moringa and shea. 

Regenopolis work continues in supporting #entrepreneurs and SMEs towards maturity and scale, so that they can capture value in those markets and increase their impact on #regeneration #climate resilience and #biodiversity preservation.
