About the event

The fourteenth session of the Conference of the Parties to the the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) will take place from 2 to 13 September 2019 at the India Expo Center and Mart, in New Delhi, India.

The global Conference is expected to review the progress made, especially during the last two years, to control and reverse further loss of productive land from desertification, land degradation and drought. These are considered growing threats to peace and security in both developed and developing countries due to the widespread loss of livelihoods for communities and even entire regions.
