Continuation of the webinar series
The Désertif’actions 2026 webinars are a major step forward in taking stock of scientific knowledge, the experiences of operators in the field gathered during preparatory workshops, and the challenges of the various themes in terms of advocacy. The four webinars will thus contribute to enriching discussions on the resilience of territories to drought and preparing for the Désertif’actions 2026 summit, which will be held from 25 to 28 March in Djerba (Tunisia).

The second webinar on water
The webinar “Territorial Water Management” will take place on Thursday, 11 December from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. (GMT+1) on Zoom. Registration is required.
