It was established by the United Nations General Assembly in 1994 to promote public awareness of the need for international cooperation to combat desertification and drought. The day is also a reminder of the importance of sustainable land management and the need to protect our planet&#8217;s natural resources.<\/p>\n<p>Desertification is the degradation of land in arid, semi-arid and dry sub-humid areas. It is caused by a number of factors, including climate change, human activities such as deforestation and overgrazing, and poor land management practices. Desertification can lead to a number of problems, including loss of biodiversity, soil erosion, water scarcity, and food insecurity.<\/p>\n<p>Drought is a period of time when there is an abnormally low amount of rainfall. It can be caused by a number of factors, including climate change, El Ni\u00c3\u00b1o Southern Oscillation (ENSO), and La Ni\u00c3\u00b1a. Drought can have a devastating impact on human health, agriculture, and the environment.<\/p>\n<p>The United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) is an international treaty that was adopted in 1994. The UNCCD aims to promote sustainable land management and to combat desertification and drought. The UNCCD has 197 parties, including all 193 UN member states.<\/p>\n<p>World Day to Combat <div class=\"youtube-subscribe-container\">\r\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCNHT8lW-JmLC68rjBfZhdkg?sub_confirmation=1\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"youtube-subscribe-button\">\r\n            <span class=\"youtube-icon\">\r\n                <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 576 512\">\r\n                    <path d=\"M549.7 124.1c-6.3-23.7-24.8-42.3-48.3-48.6C458.8 64 288 64 288 64S117.2 64 74.6 75.5c-23.5 6.3-42 24.9-48.3 48.6-11.4 42.9-11.4 132.3-11.4 132.3s0 89.4 11.4 132.3c6.3 23.7 24.8 41.5 48.3 47.8C117.2 448 288 448 288 448s170.8 0 213.4-11.5c23.5-6.3 42-24.2 48.3-47.8 11.4-42.9 11.4-132.3 11.4-132.3s0-89.4-11.4-132.3zm-317.5 213.5V175.2l142.7 81.2-142.7 81.2z\"\/>\r\n                <\/svg>\r\n            <\/span>\r\n            Subscribe on YouTube\r\n        <\/a>\r\n    <\/div> Desertification and Drought is an opportunity to raise awareness of the importance <div class=\"telegram-channel-container\">\r\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/pscnotes2025\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"telegram-channel-button\">\r\n            <span class=\"telegram-icon\">\r\n                <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 496 512\">\r\n                    <path fill=\"white\" d=\"M248,8C111,8,0,119,0,256s111,248,248,248s248-111,248-248S385,8,248,8z M362,177L320,367c-3,14-10,18-20,14l-56-41l-27,26 c-3,3-5,5-10,5l4-63L323,196c5-5-1-7-8-3l-98,62l-42-13c-9-3-10-9,2-14l162-63C351,160,365,164,362,177z\"\/>\r\n                <\/svg>\r\n            <\/span>\r\n            Join Our Telegram Channel\r\n        <\/a>\r\n    <\/div> of combating desertification and drought.
