Land degradation, desertification Sample Clauses

Land degradation, desertification. The importance of sustainable land use for fighting hunger and poverty has been recognised and addressed through development co-operation for many years. The United Nations Convention on Combating Desertification (UNCCD), of which the EU is a Party, was developed as a tool to assist in the achievement of sustainable land use. Desertification counteracts investments in development. The world-wide loss in income in the agricultural sector due to desertification is roughly equivalent to the annual investment in development through ODA. Hence the crucial importance of ensuring that the UNCCD principles are integrated into the mainstream of development co-operation, both on the side of donors and of partner countries. In light of the decisions taken at the last Conferences of the parties of the UNCCD, which have given prominence to implementation and policy coherence on the ground while promoting the scientific and technological base of the Convention, the Partnership should favour regular dialogue between the EC and FAO. A particular focus should be made on the potential strengthening of the Convention’s scientific basis through its linking with CGIAR programme. This dialogue would enable both institutions to better understand respective efforts towards the above objectives while enhancing synergies in relation to desertification control activities also with other stakeholders.
