Desertification and Drought Day 2021

The theme chosen this year for Desertification and Drought Day, in analogy with the start of the UN Decade for Ecosystem Restoration, will focus on the transformation of degraded land, which guarantees economic resilience, creates jobs, increases income and food security, helps restore biodiversity, stores carbon, slows down climate change and reduces its impacts, and supports green recovery from the pandemic.
