The Désertif’actions 2026 Summit will allow international civil society to make its voice heard on the challenges of communities and ecosystems resilience, and to prepare recommendations for the UNCCD COP17 negotiations.
In preparation for this meeting, CARI is publishing three notes deciphering the negotiations of the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification. These notes are intended for participants in the Désertif’actions programme, and more broadly for CSOs who follow and want to influence the UNCCD.
- The Briefing Note on the UNCCD Negotiating Process explains in detail how and by whom UNCCD decisions are adopted. The note identifies entry points to influence negotiations and provides recommendations for CSOs attending the COP.
- The Briefing Note on Regional Groups and Coalitions of Influence complements the previous note, detailing how UNCCD negotiators are organizing themselves to have weight in the negotiations. It helps to refine the understanding of advocacy targets.
- The Briefing Note on the consideration of droughts in the UNCCD negotiations details the Convention’s action to combat droughts and summarises the latest progress in the negotiations on this subject.
