The 16th Conference of the Parties (COP16) of the UN Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD), held in Riyadh, emphasizes urgent global initiatives to halt and reverse land degradation. With 2 billion hectares affected globally, restoring these lands is crucial for 3.2 billion people. Key discussions include mobilizing $355 billion annually, significantly exceeding the current $77 billion investment. China showcases its successful desertification control efforts through the Three-North Shelterbelt Forest Program, while local initiatives in Brazil, like the EcoProductive Pilot Project, aim to enhance family farming amidst desertification challenges [8][5][7].
