World Overview of Conservation Approaches and Technologies (WOCAT)

Switzerland

The World Overview of Conservation Approaches and Technology (WOCAT) is a global network for sharing and applying knowledge to support adaptation, innovation and decision-making on Sustainable Land Management (SLM). It has created an innovative space for sharing and scaling good practices to address land degradation, climate change, and biodiversity loss.

WOCAT facilitates knowledge sharing and analysis of which good practices work where, how and why, and their costs and benefits. The WOCAT Global SLM Database is recognized by the UNCCD as the primary Global Database for effective SLM practices. WOCAT is hosted by the Centre for Development and Environment (CDE) at the University of Berne in Switzerland.
