Land for Life securing our common future 2015

Through its two components: Land for Life Award and Awareness raising and Knowledge Support, the Land for Life programme will show-case and highlight how the existing local, national and regional efforts in rehabilitating and managing the land sustainably, bring multiple benefits to communities through increased land productivity, employment opportunities, greater resilience in the face of climate change and more. The Land for Life Award recognizes the excellence and innovation of individuals, groups, institutions and businesses whose work and initiatives have made a significant contribution in achieving Land Degradation Neutrality. Through a variety of activities in Awareness Raising and Knowledge Support, we hope to provide a quantum leap in the level of information that the public and policy-makers have on Land Degradation Neutrality.
