DESCRIPTION:

The United Nations General Assembly, by its resolution A/RES/62/195 of 2007, declared 2010 to 2020 the United Nations Decade for Deserts and the Fight Against Desertification (UNDDD). Despite past and ongoing global efforts and a slow response to poverty eradication among dryland populations, the Assembly acknowledged the persistence of desertification. It declared the Decade a period for concerted global action.


The resolution mandates the pursuit of three objectives, which are:


1) Organizing activities to observe the Decade in order to raise awareness of (a) the causes of and (b) solutions to ongoing land degradation and desertification in the framework of the ten-year strategic plan and framework to enhance the implementation of the Convention (2008-2018);


2) Mobilizing financial and technical support to the Convention secretariat to support special initiatives in observance of the Decade as well as other observance events and activities worldwide; and

3) Monitoring and reporting on progress in preparation of the Secretary General's Report to the General Assembly at its 69th Session on the status of implementation of the resolution.
