🌐 🌱 It's #DesertificationAndDroughtDay ! Desertification, land degradation, and drought are among the most pressing environmental challenges of our time. But there are also positive developments to report. Examples?
📌 Watch the video from our common AgriPath project 👉 https://t.ly/r5W8U
📌 Read "The Land Story", our publication together with UN Convention to Combat Desertification and WOCAT, which reports on country experiences with land degradation and drought. 👉 https://t.ly/g60UQ

On this #DesertificationandDroughtDay UNCCD reminds us of the importance of restoring degraded land.

A closer look at droughts in Latin America and the Caribbean

Droughts often emerge as a slow onset and multifaceted threat, affecting people, different sectors, and the economy, including the stability of natural ecosystems. As such, droughts can manifest in various forms and can carry distinct implications for different actors over time.

A unifying modelling of multiple land degradation pathways in Europe - Nature Communications

This study presents an unprecedented analysis of agricultural land multi-degradation in 40 European countries, using twelve dataset-based processes that were modelled as land degradation convergence and combination pathways across the continent.

Assessment Report on Land Degradation and Restoration | IPBES secretariat

The assessment of land degradation and restoration covers the global status of and trends in land degradation, by region and land cover type; the effect of degradation on biodiversity values, ecosystem services and human well-being; and the state of knowledge, by region and land cover type, of ecosystem restoration extent and options. The assessment aims to enhance the knowledge base for policies for addressing land degradation, desertification and the restoration of degraded land.

On #DesertificationAndDroughtDay, @UNCCD Executive Secretary Ibrahim Thiaw says that restoring the balance between increasing demands and shrinking resources is the biggest challenge facing the world http://xhtxs.cn/Ure #UNited4Land
UNCCD chief calls for joint efforts to tackle global land degradation

RT by @CopernicusEU: #DesertificationAndDroughtDay

#Desertification results from land degradation driven by factors like wildfires, poor management, & urban expansion. #CLMS helps identify these issues aiding in responsible land management.

Dynamic Land Cover

The Dynamic Land Cover product provides a primary land cover scheme at three classification levels with class definitions according to the Land Cover Classification System (LCCS) scheme. The product is produced annually, and the actual version of the product (V3.0) is available for the 2015-2019 reference years.
