Land degradation occurs when human activities exploit land, leading to a decline in its biodiversity, soil fertility & overall health.

We defined 20 key terms relating to the nature crisis in our new #ClimateDictionary, Nature edition: https://t.co/8DJKUyzi8o

#COP17Mongolia

[Global Goals @GlobalGoalsUN]

Land degradation is more than an environmental issue.

It threatens food and water security, livelihoods, economies and social stability. At #UNCCDCOP17, countries are working together to restore land and build resilience to drought.

Women’s leadership is advancing — but parity remains decades away.

Progress in women’s representation in decision-making has been slow over the past decade.

Equal participation and leadership are essential for global progress.

🏛️ Stronger institutions = manage risks

Resilience depends on people having choices about their future. https://t.co/qN4DkTdwKa

#COP17Mongolia

[UN Development @UNDP]

Disasters from climate hazards have increased fivefold over the past 50 years.

Restoring land can give communities greater capacity to prepare for shocks. It empowers them to build resilience rooted in the landscapes they call home. https://t.co/NU8dL4yayL

Nearly 77% of Mongolia’s land is affected by degradation. But local communities are fighting back.

Women-led pastoralists revived a lake that vanished 70 years ago to heal their rangelands, with @‌theGEF Small Grants Program & UNDP. https://t.co/IoOwChE5UN

#COP17Mongolia

[UN Development @UNDP]

Why should we care about rangelands? They don't get farmed in the traditional sense, but they're still crucial:

🥔 2 billion people rely on them for food
🐄 They supply 70% of the world's livestock feed

That's why they're at the center of #COP17Mongolia. https://t.co/tUzgbqk39F
