WOCAT related decisions at UNCCD COP16
The COP16 sustains WOCAT's collaborative efforts in Sustainable Land Management towards Land Degradation Neutrality.
The 16th Conference of the Parties (COP16) of the UN Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) took place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, from 2 to 13 December 2024, under the theme “Our Land. Our Future.”
Four of the thirty-seven decisions taken at COP16 highlight the role of WOCAT in supporting knowledge sharing, generating SLM good practices data and building capacity in collaboration with UNCCD and other partners.
WOCAT, together with its partners and members, brought the expertise of its global network to the forefront. At the WOCAT Pavilion, through engaging side events, during the CRIC plenary, and at the Gender Caucus, WOCAT contributed to the COP16 agenda with innovative sessions, trainings, and discussions, complementing the official program.
