UNCCD call for contributions

The United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) invites organizations and individuals to share their case studies to combat desertification, land degradation, and drought with an integrated urban-rural approach. The case studies can be plans, projects, and programs – land management practices, policies and regulations – resource mobilization, awareness-raising, capacity building, and other efforts to manage land resources (incl. water and biodiversity) from an integrated urban-rural perspective. 

Shared experiences and case studies will inform the development of the “Guide on the Integration of Urban-Rural Linkages into Land Degradation Neutrality and Land Restoration Initiatives.” Selected case studies will be published in the guide. Full credit will be attributed to the authors and organizations submitting the case studies. If you have an existing or ongoing case that you would like to submit, please contact us at globalpolicyadvocacy@unccd.int, indicating in the subject line “Case Study URL and Land.”

Deadline for submission is January 30, 2023.
