SUMMARY:World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought\, 17 June
DESCRIPTION:A UN Project in collaboration with the Korea Forest Service is empowering local farmers in Ethiopia to restore their land\, secure sustainable incomes\, and combat climate change. \nPhoto:UNCCD\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRestore the land. Unlock the opportunities\nHealthy land underpins thriving economies\, with over half of global GDP dependent on nature. Yet we are depleting this natural capital at an alarming rate: every minute\, the equivalent of four football fields is lost due to land degradation. \nThis drives biodiversity loss\, increasing drought risk and displacing communities. The ripple effects are global—from rising food prices to instability and migration. \nDesertification\, land degradation\, and drought are among the most pressing environmental challenges of our time\, with up to 40% of all land area worldwide already considered degraded. \nAs the United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration 2021-2030 marks its halfway point\, we must accelerate efforts to turn the tide of land degradation into large-scale restoration. If current trends continue\, we will need to restore 1.5 billion hectares of land and jumpstart a trillion-dollar land restoration economy by 2030. \nUnder the theme “Restore the land. Unlock the оpportunities”\, the 2025 observance shines a light on how restoring nature’s foundation—land—can create jobs\, boost food and water security\, support climate action and build economic resilience.

SUMMARY:World Water Monitoring Day
DESCRIPTION:Every year on September 18\, since 2003\, World Water Monitoring Day has been celebrated. \nThis environmental holiday\, established on the initiative of the American Clean Water Foundation\, has now become an informational and educational program aimed at raising public awareness of the problems of the planet’s water resources and participating in protection against pollution. The program provides people with the opportunity to carry out basic monitoring of the state of local water bodies and is supported by the Water Environment Federation (WEF) and the International Water Association (IWA). \nInitially\, World Water Monitoring Day was planned to be celebrated on October 18\, in honor of the date of the adoption by the US Congress – October 18\, 1972 – of the “Clean Water Act”. This document is dedicated to the issues of restoration and protection of national water resources. But over time\, the holiday became famous and began to be held in other countries. Therefore\, since 2007\, its date has been moved forward a month\, to facilitate the participation of those countries in whose territories the water in reservoirs already freezes at this time of year.
