Land Restoration to Combat Desertification and Enhance Drought Resilience
World Environment Day 2024 Theme Announced
Only One Earth: Restoring our Planet
The United Nations General Assembly has designated June 5th as World Environment Day. This annual event aims to raise awareness about pressing environmental concerns and foster global action towards protecting our planet. For 2024, the theme of World Environment Day is "Land Restoration: Desertification and Drought Resilience."
This theme highlights the critical importance of restoring degraded land and addressing the challenges of desertification and drought. Deforestation, unsustainable agriculture, and climate change have contributed to the loss of fertile land, exacerbating desertification and water scarcity. By promoting land restoration, we can mitigate the impacts of these environmental threats and enhance the resilience of communities.
