Until now, the international community has made tireless efforts to get public attention and political action on issues of desertification, land degradation and drought (DLDD) with limited success.


Thus, the mobilization of political will and arousal of public interest and attention around the issue of climate change in particular puzzled activists and decision-makers alike, at least in the DLDD community.


It signaled, for many, that scientific consensus and the accumulation of knowledge are not to be underestimated in matters of public opinion and political will. Consequently, they took up the issue of science and knowledge development with renewed vigor, will and interest in the context of the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD), the body with a legally binding mandate over DLDD matters.
