The Great Green Wall

The Great Green Wall is an ambitious African-led initiative aimed at combating desertification, climate change, and poverty by creating a vast mosaic of green landscapes across the Sahel region, which stretches from Senegal in the west to Djibouti in the east. The project involves planting trees and restoring degraded land to create a barrier against the advancing Sahara Desert. This not only helps to improve the environment but also supports local communities by enhancing biodiversity, providing jobs, and promoting sustainable agriculture, ultimately striving for a healthier planet and improved livelihoods.
