Desertif'actions 2022

NGOs, scientists, local communities, international institutions, private and public sectors… every level of civil society will be gathering at Montpellier from 5 to 8 October 2022 to debate and share their stances on land degradation viewed from the angles of desertification, the protection of biodiversity and adaptation to climate change, and its consequences on both the North and the South.

This multi-stakeholder event is unique in that it brings together 300 participants from around the world.

Issues

The fight against desertification, land degradation and climate change is not yet over. Although land degradation has been an urgent issue since 1994, with the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD), policy implementation is still slow.

Land degradation has reduced the productivity of 23% of the earth’s surface. Land degradation has reduced the productivity of 23% of the earth’s surface and 12 million hectares are affected each year. The loss of species and ecosystem services from these lands would represent 10% of the world’s annual GDP[1].
