As climate change escalates, we need new solutions to tackle the growing threat of desertification more urgently than ever. Given the huge variation in the nature, causes and contexts of desertification, however, no one-size-fits-all solution exists.
In this webinar from TERRASAFE and MONALISA, you’ll learn about a range of social, technological and nature-based innovations and their role in boosting the resilience of drylands and drought-affected regions against desertification.
