Global Drylands Initiative

The Global Drylands Initiative is a project focused on the sustainable management of dryland regions, which cover about 45% of the Earth's land surface and support nearly two billion people. It aims to address challenges like desertification, climate change, and resource scarcity by promoting conservation, resilient agriculture, and improved livelihoods. Through collaboration among governments, communities, and experts, the initiative seeks to enhance environmental health and promote economic development in drylands, ensuring these ecosystems can sustain both people and biodiversity now and in the future.
