World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought is observed globally on 17 June to raise awareness about land degradation neutrality (LDN). This year’s theme is “Restore the land. Unlock the opportunities,” which highlights how restoring land can create jobs, improve food and water security, and support climate action. The day is coordinated by the Secretariat of the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD). In India, Union Minister for Environment, Forest & Climate Change and Union Minister of Culture and Tourism inaugurated a National Workshop at the Arid Forest Research Institute, Jodhpur, focusing on land restoration and climate resilience.
