SUMMARY:Protect Earth. Restore Land. Engage People: World Day to Combat Desertification (WDCD)
DESCRIPTION:Credit: UNCCD \nThe World Day to Combat Desertification has been observed since 1995 to promote public awareness relating to international cooperation to combat desertification and the effects of drought. \nIn 1994\, the United Nations General Assembly declared (General Assembly Resolution A/RES/49/115) June 17 the “World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought” to promote public awareness of the issue\, and the implementation of the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification in those countries experiencing serious drought and/or desertification\, particularly in Africa. \nEver since\, country Parties to the Convention\, organizations of the United Nations System\, international and non-governmental organizations and other interested stakeholders have celebrated this particular day with a series of outreach activities worldwide. \nThe World Day to Combat Desertification is a unique occasion to remind everybody that desertification can be effectively tackled\, that solutions are possible\, and that key tools to this aim lay in strengthened community participation and co-operation at all levels. \nCountry Parties and civil society organizations are invited to organize events to celebrate the World Day to Combat Desertification as an additional opportunity to increase awareness raising and participation in the process. \nThis is the original text from UNCCD\, which can be found here.\n
