Sustainable livelihoods

Reclaiming the land, sustaining livelihoods (pdf 1.7mb)

This brochure focuses on 'cross-cutting' projects that address land degradation but that were primarily designed to deal with climate change, biodiversity loss or issues associated with international waters. It then turns to specific UNDPGEF land degradation projects that seek to build capacity or foster sustainable land management practices.

The brochure concludes by highlighting the GEF's pilot effort at developing a longer-term, comprehensive approach to combating land degradation, with a special emphasis on least developed countries and small island nations.
