Special issue on Land Degradation Neutrality
WOCAT in joint collaboration with Conservation International, CONICET, Both ENDS, ISRIC, Sustainable Land Management Associates, CIAP and FAO, has contributed to four different papers that were submitted to a Special Issue of the Journal Environmental Science and Policy on Implementing Land Degradation Neutrality: from policy challenges to policy opportunities for national sustainable development.
The papers highlight the relevance of SLM for
achieving LDN, the use of standardized global methods and tools and
using their
synergies for assessing and monitoring LDN, and the enabling conditions
and
environment to further the implementation of LDN.
