Watch the Youth’s Dragon Den Session from the first day of the Global Landscapes Forum 2014, Lima, Peru. Young people are not given many opportunities to discuss and debate integrated approaches to land use in their studies or workplaces. So CIFOR gave them a space to effectively contribute to innovative cross-cutting solutions to land use, climate change and sustainable development issues.
