UNCCD COP17

The SFA participated in the UN Convention to Combat Desertification COP17 in August 2026 with an ambitious two-week programme of events and activities. The global conference focused on tackling land degradation, desertification, and drought, and brought together governments, scientists, businesses and civil society. A key message emerged from the SFA's activities: healthy landscapes, healthy livestock and resilient pastoralist communities are interconnected.
