🦒 Grassland, savannah, and rangeland ecosystems are increasingly threatened by land degradation, unsustainable land use, and the impacts of climate change. Addressing land degradation in these landscapes is therefore vital to achieving Land Degradation Neutrality (LDN) and advancing broader climate and biodiversity objectives.

🧑‍🌾Tomorrow morning, the IUCN Forest and Grasslands team will be hosting the side event "Shared Pathways to LDN: Knowledge Exchange on Integrating Grasslands, Savannahs, and Rangelands into Implementation" at UNCCD CRIC23.

🌍 The session will provide a platform for South–South knowledge exchange, enabling participants to learn from successful approaches, innovative restoration practices, and policy frameworks from other parts of the Global South. It will also explore opportunities to align LDN implementation with national climate and biodiversity commitments, fostering integrated and synergistic action.

📅 Date: December 2, 2025
🕓 Time: 8:30 - 10:00 EST
📍Location: CARIBE 4

Disaster - Respond - Recover - Repeat 🔄

We have to break this vicious cycle.

To do that, we first need a better understanding of disaster risk, in all its dimensions.

Because there are no natural disasters.

#CongoBasin forests are a foundation for economic resilience. They can drive new opportunities, from community-based ecotourism and forest monitoring to value-added processing of non-timber forest products and results-based climate financing.

Communities rarely face hazards one-by-one. Hazards can trigger, intensify, overlap, or occur before recovery is complete.

❓What makes an effective early warning system?

🟦 Multi-hazard

🟧 End-to-end

🟩 People-centered
