- For every $1 invested in land restoration, we get up to $30 in economic returns. However, land degradation still drains $878 billion annually from the global economy. Restoration is not a cost - it is an opportunity. #UNited4Land #DesertificationAndDroughtDay2025

- Glaciers are vital - essential for drinking water, agriculture, industry, clean energy production, and healthy ecosystems. Protecting glaciers protects the delicate balance of our planet's ecosystems. Check out the infographic to understand the secret life of glaciers. #WorldWaterDay
- Healthy forests are essential for healthy ecosystems and human well-being. Forests do more than supply food; they provide fuel, employment, income, and a foundation for economic stability for millions. Conserving forests is an investment in securing the livelihoods of billions of people. #ForestDay

- Women's secure rights to land are the missing link to building resilient communities, reducing poverty, and effectively addressing the climate crisis. As global leaders gather at #CSW69 to accelerate gender equality, we must stand up for #HerLand.
- In most countries, women have unequal and limited access to and control over land. We cannot achieve land degradation neutrality without gender equality, and we cannot exclude half the population from land management decisions because of their gender. #HerLand #InternationalWomensDay
- Empowering #women with secure land rights is essential for sustainable development and environmental conservation. Recognizing women as land stewards is only part of the solution; ensuring their legal rights to land ownership and management is crucial.
- What is your land footprint? Every product we use, from the food on our plates to the clothes we wear to the gadgets we rely on, has a hidden impact on the land. By making informed choices, we can all protect vital ecosystems and promote land restoration. #UNited4Land

- On this #WorldWildlifeDay, let us reaffirm our commitment to restoring our lands. By investing in land restoration, we not only protect the myriad forms of life that inhabit our planet, but also ensure a resilient and prosperous future for generations to come. #United4Land
- Land is one of the most important carbon sinks on Earth. Forests, soils, and ecosystems absorb 30% of human-made carbon emissions, helping regulate global temperatures. But when land is degraded, it releases carbon back into the atmosphere, worsening climate change. #UNited4Land
- Land is the foundation of our economies, societies, and future. Yet, land degradation threatens half of the world’s GDP, food security, and ecosystems. UNCCD ES Ibrahim Thiaw recently joined Sibylle Barden on Der Große Neustart to discuss solutions. Listen now:
