UN Convention to Combat Desertification

The UN Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) is an international agreement aimed at preventing and reversing land degradation, especially in dry, arid areas called deserts. It encourages countries to implement sustainable land management practices, conserve water, restore degraded land, and adapt to climate change impacts. The goal is to improve the health of soils and ecosystems, support local communities, and combat poverty associated with desertification. By working together, nations seek to preserve land resources for future generations, ensuring the environment remains productive and resilient.
