RT @andersen_inger: Land is life. Yet billions across 🌍 are facing food insecurity & crippling droughts. We need a global push to restore degraded lands for all.

This #DesertificationAndDroughtDay I stand #United4Land with @UNCCD & partners.

Our Land. Our Future. We are #Generation Restoration.

Happy #DesertificationAndDroughtDay! 🎉

The security, prosperity, and health of billions depend on thriving lands. Yet, we vandalize the earth that sustains us. Every second, four football fields of healthy land are degraded. "#United4Land. Our Legacy. Our Future." is a call to action. Governments, businesses, communities, and individuals, we must unite to combat desertification.

As we gather in #Bonn, Germany, for the global observance, we are inspired by the commitment of our partners, ambassadors. #LandHeroes and supporters around the world. “Together, let’s sow the seeds for a thriving future – for nature and humanity.” - Ibrahim Thiaw

🌾 Healthy land provides the world with nearly 95% of our food and sustains us in many other ways.

That's why on this World Day to Combat Drought & Desertification, we thank the #GEFcouncil67 for approving several @UNDP projects to restore land and ecosystems. https://t.co/5fmjtBGc8o
