UNCCD concludes COP17 with new drought resilience and land restoration initiatives
UNCCD conference in Mongolia set the stage for enhanced global drought resilience with innovative initiatives.

NEW DELHI: The seventeenth session of the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) conference concluded in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, on Friday by presenting a new global architecture for drought resilience that will help countries bridge the gap between plans and implementation.Multiple new initiatives were announced during the 12-day conference (COP17). They include $1.3 billion in new and pipeline finance for land restoration and strengthening drought resilience in vulnerable countries.These initiatives — the world’s first Drought Resilience Index (DRI) and the Drought Resilience Investment Facility (DRIF) — will help countries in assessing their capacity to anticipate, prepare for and adapt to drought, and unlock much larger flows of institutional and private finance for projects that strengthen water security, sustainable agriculture, nature-based solutions and land restoration.DRI’s technical monitoring metrics will enable countries to identify vulnerabilities and inform more effective policies and investments. Its new AI-powered features can help policymakers, technical experts and the public interpret complex data and turn it into practical insights.
