Desertification affects 70 per cent of all arable lands on the
planet in more than 100 countries. Inextricably linked to poverty,
it is estimated that the livelihood of 250 million people are
directly affected while another billion living in rural drylands
are threatened by this phenomenon. This volume examines the United
Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) signed in
1994. It studies the linkages between land degradation and poverty,
the role of civil society and good governance in implementing the
UNCCD and the various approaches to fighting desertification.
Furthermore, this volume assesses the National Action Programmes,
development planning and new avenues for strengthening
implementation. Synthesising the main strengths and weaknesses of
the UNCCD as a tool for environmental and developmental governance,
this candid and informative volume highlights the main challenges
facing the UNCCD in the future.
