The United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) is an international treaty aimed at addressing desertification, land degradation, and drought, particularly in vulnerable regions such as Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Established in 1994, the UNCCD promotes sustainable land management practices and seeks to restore degraded land to improve the livelihoods of affected populations. The convention operates through a network of national, regional, and global partnerships, working with governments, NGOs, and local communities to implement projects that prevent further land degradation and promote the recovery of ecosystems. The UNCCD plays a crucial role in global efforts to combat climate change and ensure food security for future generations.
