TOUS 4646 COP17 restaurer les terres pour lutter contre la desertification

COP17 on combating desertification opens in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, with a central objective: to accelerate the restoration of degraded land and strengthen resilience to droughts. Up to 40% of the planet's land is estimated to be degraded today, posing increasing risks to water, agriculture, and food security. Under the theme "Restore Land, Restore Hope," the conference aims to mobilize more funding and promote the sustainable management of water resources and grazing lands. The role of pastoralism, particularly important in Mongolia, will also be a key focus of discussions.
