Reflecting on Drynet members’ contributions to sustaining the global drylands and their people

15.06.2023

World Day to Combat Desertification (WDCD) is celebrated every year on 17 June. It aims to raise public awareness that land degradation neutrality (LDN) is possible through multidisciplinary efforts by all stakeholders from around the world to combat desertification.

Under the theme of Her Land. Her Rights: Advancing Gender Equality and Land Restoration Goals, this year’s WDCD shines a global spotlight on the land rights of women and girls. It mainstreams women and girls into the forefront of global land restoration and drought resilience efforts. Investing in equal access to land and related assets for women and other marginalised groups is a direct investment in their future and, ultimately, that of humanity’s future.

In honour of this day, Drynet members have published a few posts sharing some snippets of their work and commitment to dryland communities.
