🌍 World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought —17 JuneRestore the land, unlock the opportunities

Описание: Healthy land is the foundation of life. It sustains biodiversity, supports food and water systems, and strengthens economies — yet we are losing it at an alarming rate. Every minute, the equivalent of four football fields turns barren due to degradation.

Desertification, land degradation and drought are global challenges with local impacts: rising food insecurity, migration, and climate stress. Today, nearly 40% of the Earth’s land is degraded, threatening livelihoods and ecosystems alike.

As we reach the halfway point of the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration, we must act with urgency and scale. Restoring land means regenerating opportunity — creating jobs, strengthening climate resilience, and protecting communities.

At Green Cross United Kingdom, we stand with all those working to reverse degradation and restore balance between people and planet.

Let’s transform ambition into action.
Let’s restore the land — and unlock a better future.
