A key expectation from #COP16Riyadh is a landmark decision to halt land degradation entirely by 2030. Other priorities include mobilizing sufficient resources to restore degraded land and achieving full resilience to droughts. “Every second, somewhere in the world, we lose an equivalent of four football fields to land degradation. We must act now to restore our lands. They are the foundation of everything. For the first time, through our UNCCD reporting, we have evidence-based estimates of the alarming state of land degradation. COP16 is about our reliance on lands, but also our resilience,” says Ibrahim Thiaw, the Executive Secretary of the UNCCD, at the opening ceremony of the COP https://lnkd.in/dMXzNz2i

And so will be the winners in a rash of conflicts and civil wars in Syria, Myanmar, Lebanon, Yemen, Sudan and Afghanistan. The latest report from SIPRI points out revenues from sales of arms and military services by the 100 largest companies in the industry reached $632 billion in 2023, a real-terms increase of 4.2 per cent compared with 2022. https://lnkd.in/dXkh7BWK
