#OPINION: Everything links us to the land, even though we take it for granted or assume, mistakenly, it has unlimited resources, writes @UNCCD Executive Secretary @ibrahimthiaw https://t.co/wlEN4OQZ5K

[Ibrahim Thiaw @ibrahimthiaw]

2 months to go until @Cop16Riyadh! Land degradation and drought affect millions of lives and our ecosystems, but together we can build a more sustainable future by:

• 🌱 Restoring degraded land
• 💧 Building drought resilience
• 💪 Empowering communities around the world

By 2030, we must cut emissions globally by 45 per cent to limit global warming to 1.5°C. At #COP28 developed countries need to submit more ambitious action plans & deliver on their promises of US$100 billion annually to support #ClimateAction in developing countries.
