World Day to Combat Desertification: “Our Land. Our Home. Our Future.
The World Day to Combat Desertification is the day to remind everyone of the importance of healthy and productive land for secure, stable and sustainable future. This year under the slogan “Our Land. Our Home. Our Future.”, we celebrate the power the land holds in giving people an opportunity and a future to stay resilient on their home ground.
We are pleased to inform you about the 2017 World Day to Combat Desertification Online Campaign. The campaign calls upon the UNCCD partners, CSOs, governmental stakeholders and the public to support restoring degraded lands and promoting productive and healthy land.
