We stand for the land
UNCCD (United Nations Convention to Combat Dessertification) is committed to the conservation and management of land resources to ensure land is used in a way that meets the needs of present and future generations.
Land is life
Land is the foundation of life. Our lives depend on land. Healthy land feeds, shelters and clothes us. Our stewardship of land is essential for our future and that of generations to come. By restoring land, we sustain life.
Life on land is on the line
Without urgent action to restore and sustainably manage land, millions of people will face displacement, decreased food security, loss of livelihoods, and increased vulnerability to climate change.
