UNCCD (United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification)

The United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) is an international treaty aimed at addressing land degradation and desertification, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions. Established in 1994, it promotes sustainable land management practices to restore land productivity, enhance food security, and protect ecosystems. The convention encourages countries to develop national action programs and collaborate on strategies to combat the effects of drought and land degradation, ultimately aiming to improve the livelihoods of people affected by these issues while conserving natural resources for future generations.
