Dear Parliamentarians, Colleagues and Partners,

It gives me great pleasure to present this message to the Member Parliaments of the Forum and its partners in honour of World Day to Combat  Desertification  and Drought 2024, which is being observed under the theme: “United for Land:  Our Legacy. Our Future.” With a focus to mobilize all parts of society in support of sustainable land stewardship. The commemoration coincides with the 30th anniversary of the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD)— the sole legally binding international treaty on land management and drought.
