The UNCCD’s Conferences of the Parties (COP) is the place where governments agree on strategic and effective land use and sustainable land management goals to ensure that nature and ecosystems can thrive. COP14 will focus on the critical gaps in land management and planning, but also on practical actions to ensure that the successes we are achieving also increase human well-being everywhere. Over 3,000 participants from all over the world are expected to participate in COP14. The Parties to the Convention will agree on the actions for the next two years and beyond to get us on a sustainable development path.
