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
