The 2021 #DesertificationandDroughtDay to be held on 17 June will focus on turning degraded land into #healthy land. #Restoring degraded land brings #economic resilience, creates #jobs, raises #incomes and increases #foodsecurity. It helps #biodiversity to recover. It locks away the #atmospheric carbon warming the #Earth, slowing #climate change. It can also lessen the impacts of climate change and underpin a green recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Nearly three quarters of the Earth’s ice-free land has been altered by humans to meet an ever-growing demand for food, raw materials, highways and homes. Avoiding, slowing and reversing the loss of #productive land and natural #ecosystems now is both urgent and important for a swift recovery from the pandemic and for guaranteeing the long-term #survival of people and the #planet.
