Combatting Desertification
An astonishing 75 percent of the world’s land is threatened by drought and desertification as a result of man-made global warming.
During December 2024 the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) held a conference in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia which was a critical milestone in advancing global efforts to combat land degradation, desertification and drought, and promote sustainable development. Under the theme “Our Land. Our Future,” the conference convened 196 countries and the European Union along with experts and civil society to promote urgent action.
