UN Convention to Combat Desertification

UNCCD is the global voice for land. We champion healthy, productive and accessible land for all #UNited4Land
Info
Our lives depend on land. Healthy land feeds, shelters and clothes us. It sustains our planet’s vital ecosystems, preserves biodiversity and plays a fundamental and increasingly urgent role in mitigating climate change. When land has been degraded by human intervention or plagued by drought, it loses its capacity to sustain life with dire consequences. The United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) is the global vision and voice for land. We unite governments, scientists, policymakers, private sector and communities around a shared vision and global action to restore and manage the world’s land for the sustainability of humanity and the planet. Much more than an international treaty signed by 197 parties, UNCCD is a multilateral commitment to mitigating today’s impacts of land degradation and advancing tomorrow’s land stewardship in order to provide food, water, shelter and economic opportunity to all people in an equitable and inclusive manner. Abundant healthy land fosters our collective wellbeing and resilience, and can enable all people to live on a safe, just and prosperous planet. #UNited4Land

Today is Earth Overshoot Day, a significant marker that highlights how quickly we have used up our planet’s resources for the year. This day serves as a powerful reminder of the urgent need for sustainable practices and the importance of investing in land restoration. Land restoration is more than just an environmental necessity; it is a critical step towards ensuring the health and well-being of our planet and its inhabitants. By revitalizing degraded ecosystems, we can restore nature's balance, support biodiversity and create resilient environments that can withstand the impacts of climate change. Let's commit to actions that contribute to land's health and sustainable resource use. Together, we can create a future where we live within the means of our planet and ensure that its bounty is available for generations to come. #united4land #movethedate

Join us at the Paris Olympics 2024 for a Special Sports4Land Event on "Desertification Day" on July 31 at the Africa Station in cooperation with the Mayor of l’Île-Saint-Denis Mohamed GNABALY Desertification and land degradation represent a major challenge for the global sporting community. Sports pitches are directly affected by these phenomena. Drought and extreme temperatures make playing surfaces harder and more brittle, increasing the risk of injury for athletes. In addition, frequent heatwaves mean sporting events must be rescheduled, disrupting athletes' preparation and performance. We are excited to invite you to an engaging event that merges the worlds of sports and environmental sustainability. Our Sports4Land event on "Desertification Day" will feature a panel discussion with experts and athletes from the sporting and land community with: – Merem T. Tahar, Special Envoy of the President of COP15 Desertification on Youth – Naomi Akakpo, Hurdler Athlete, Togo – Mustapha Berraf, First Vice-president of the Association of the National Olympic Committees of Africa (ANOCA) – Vladyslava Kravchenko, Para Swimming Athlete and member of the International Paralympic Committee's Athletes' Council, Malta This is a fantastic opportunity to learn, interact, and contribute to a worthy cause. Let's come together to support sustainability and celebrate our shared commitment to preserving our planet.
