The Global Drylands Initiative
The goal of the Global Drylands Initiative is to restore, sustainably manage and protect dryland ecosystems for multiple environmental, economic and social benefits. The Initiative supports countries to adapt ecosystem management policy and practice to the unique conditions of the drylands and to the evolving challenges that the drylands face.聽
Specifically, this Initiative聽has three strategic priorities:
-
Generate聽evidence聽for targeting and monitoring聽of dryland conditions and trends through adapted assessment approaches that operationalize current understanding on non-equilibrium dryland ecology.
-
Strengthen聽governance for sustainable land management聽by strengthening of resource rights, establishment of institutional mechanisms for ecosystem management, and development of enabling conditions for policy implementation and revision.
-
Promote policy implementation for dryland ecosystem management聽by enhancing the knowledge and capacity聽of various聽stakeholders to adapt policies and investments to the unique conditions of the drylands.
Further, as the 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 Focal Point to the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification, the Global Drylands Initiative leads 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播's efforts to influence the global discourse on Land Degradation and Sustainable Land Management. In this case, the Initiative supports聽countries to implement their commitments聽to the Convention by demonstrating good practices on the ground, influencing the science-policy interaction of the Convention itself and working with other stakeholders to achieve聽Land Degradation Neutrality.
