World Day to combat desertification and drought 2021: All you need to know
The desertification and drought day 2021 is observed on 17 June every year. The day’s focus is to turn the degraded land that has lost its natural productivity due to human activity into healthy land. The United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification in collaboration with the Ministry of Environment of Costa Rica was hosted to encourage households, communities, the private sector, and countries to have a better relationship with nature. History: The United Nations General Assembly in the early 90s decided on a resolution to observe June 17 as World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought. From this day every year, the United Nations, NGOs, and countries organize events to spread awareness to combat desertification and drought.
