Dear Flipflopi,

I am writing on behalf of the Global Landscapes Forum (GLF), the world’s largest platform on
sustainable land use, to request to use your video for our upcoming Digital Edition.

The GLF Kyoto Digital Edition is an “Online Gathering for Climate and Landscapes"
Thousands will join our online series of video addresses, live discussions and creative talents for landscape solutions. The Digital Edition will take place over 24 hours, comprising of 3 Acts - your video will be part of Act I.

Act I: Video series from inspiring leaders aimed at sparking conversation and action. Four segments, on climate, landscapes, lifestyles and rights, each followed by live Q+A with special guests.
Act II: GLF Kyoto conference 2019 broadcast live from the conference venue
Act III: Discussion forums broadcast live from around the world

We have identified your video content as a vital part of this global narrative on the interconnected issues of climate, landscapes, lifestyles and rights and hope that you will grant permission to use it for the purpose outlined above. It will be fully credited to you and sourced to your youtube link.
We look forward to receiving your positive response or answering any further questions you may have.
Best wishes,
The GLF Team.
