DESCRIPTION:This year’s  World Day to Combat Desertification  and Drough
 t focuses on one of the most pressing global challenges: restoring 1.5 bil
 lion hectares of degraded land and building a $1 trillion land restoration
  economy by 2030.   With the theme “Restoring Land. Unlocking Opportunit
 ies\,” the 2025 celebration highlights how land restoration can create j
 obs\, increase food and water security\, support climate action\, and buil
 d economic resilience.   More than half of global GDP depends on healthy e
 cosystems. Yet every year\, an area the size of Egypt degrades\, causing b
 iodiversity loss\, increasing drought risk\, and displacing entire communi
 ties. The ripple effects are global\, from rising food prices to instabili
 ty and migration.   But land restoration turns the tables. Every dollar in
 vested in restoration generates an economic return of $7 to $30. Revitaliz
 ing land restores productivity\, strengthens water cycles\, and supports m
 illions of rural livelihoods.
