World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought

According to the United Nations, “The World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought is observed every year to promote public awareness of international efforts to combat desertification. The day is a unique moment to remind everyone that land degradation neutrality is achievable through problem-solving, strong community involvement and co-operation at all levels.”

This year’s theme is “Let’s Grow the Future Together” and is the anniversary of 25 years of progress made by countries on sustainable land management.
