UNCCD COP16

2-13 Dec. 2024, Riyadh (Saudi Arabia)

The United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) is the global voice for land and one of the three major UN treaties known as the Rio Conventions, alongside climate and biodiversity.

UNCCD COP16 will unite leaders from governments, the private sector, civil society, and global stakeholders to accelerate progress in sustainable land management. They’ll explore the vital connections between land and sustainability during high-level sessions, including a Heads of States Summit and interactive dialogues.

COP16 is poised to be a game-changer, marking a renewed global commitment to accelerate investment and action to restore land and boost drought resilience for the benefit of people and planet.
