Drylands and Climate Change

UNDP’s Trust Fund to Combat Desertification and Drought (UNSO) provides resources and technical training for countries undertaking national action plans regarding water management and drought preparedness and mitigation. Approximately 2 million peoples live in drylands, and most of the countries affected by desertification and drought are among the poorest and most marginalized in the world. Through policy dialogue and institutional capacity building UNDP helps governments integrate dryland concerns into national poverty reduction strategies to reduce the vulnerability of communities to environmental crisis.
