UN Land and Drought

The United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification is the global voice for land. We champion healthy, productive and accessible land for all #UNited4Land

[Global Environment Facility (GEF) @theGEF]

Five climate funds, one shared goal: making climate finance more accessible and effective. At #COP31, @theGEF, @adaptationfund , @CIF_Action, FRLD, & @theGCF explored stronger collaboration to simplify access, align with country priorities, and deliver greater impact.

Olympian Naomi Akakpo has arrived in #Dakar for the @jojdakar2026 YouthOlympic Games.

On Wednesday, she will screen her film, Beyond Limits, for young Senegalese athletes. Her message is clear: performance begins with what you eat, and what you eat starts with healthy land.

🌍 #COP31 Eylem Ajandamızın öncelikli başlıklarından biri olan Rio Sinerjisi hedefi kapsamında, ÇEM Genel Müdürlüğümüzün koordinasyonunda ve uluslararası paydaşlarımızın iş birliğiyle yürütlen çalışmalar da önemli bir aşama daha gerçekleşti.

🌱 Üçlü COP yılında, ilki Moğolistan’da gerçekleşen #COP17 - @UNCCD programında ve ardından ikincisi Ermenistan’da gerçekleşen COP 17-CBD konferansında yapılan Rio Sinerjisi Teknik Düzeyli Toplantısının üçüncüsü ve en kapsamlısı Antalya’da COP 31 kapsamında gerçekleştirildi. ÇEM koordinasyonunda düzenlenen ve @G20GLI_ , @IUCN , ENACT gibi kurumların desteğiyle düzenlenen toplantıda; iklim değişikliği, biyoçeşitlilik ve arazi hedeflerinin bütüncül bir yaklaşımla ele alınması, bütünleşik finansman, izleme sistemleri, kurumsal ortaklıklar ve doğa temelli çözümler ele alındı.

🤝 Genel Müdürümüz Prof. Dr. Kasım Yenigün, toplantıda gerçekleştirdiği konuşmada, Rio Sinerjileri kapsamında yürütülen çalışmaların ülkelerin öncelikleri doğrultusunda somut uygulamalara dönüştürülmesinin ve uluslararası iş birliğinin güçlendirilmesinin önemini vurguladı.

[Convention on Migratory Species (CMS) @BonnConvention]

Many migratory species depend on healthy rangelands and help maintain them. These same landscapes also sustain pastoralist communities and their livestock. 👩‍🌾

Keeping a healthy balance means addressing challenges such as competition for pasture and water, habitat degradation and human-wildlife conflict.

CMS is working to bring migratory species conservation into rangeland management and restoration, including through cooperation with @UNCCD.

For 81 years, the United Nations has given the world a place to come together across differences and act on challenges no country can solve alone.

This #UNDay, I remain as convinced as ever that this institution and the values it stands for are indispensable.

Deeply grateful to our @UN family around the world, whose dedication and courage bring the promise of our Charter to life every day.
