World Desertification and Drought Day 2025
World Desertification and Drought Day 2025
Jun 17, 2025 — Jun 17, 2025

This year’s World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought focuses on one of the most pressing global challenges: restoring 1.5 billion hectares of degraded land and building a $1 trillion land restoration economy by 2030.

With the theme “Restoring Land. Unlocking Opportunities,” the 2025 celebration highlights how land restoration can create jobs, increase food and water security, support climate action, and build economic resilience.

More than half of global GDP depends on healthy ecosystems. Yet every year, an area the size of Egypt degrades, causing biodiversity loss, increasing drought risk, and displacing entire communities. The ripple effects are global, from rising food prices to instability and migration.

But land restoration turns the tables. Every dollar invested in restoration generates an economic return of $7 to $30. Revitalizing land restores productivity, strengthens water cycles, and supports millions of rural livelihoods.

Presentation of a new index to communicate environmental improvement

In recent years, the complexity of environmental and regulatory data has made it difficult for local authorities to coordinate and communicate their actions effectively. To respond to this challenge, the WA2NNA-BEST index, developed by the LIFE HELP project, will be presented in Rome on 18 June 2025: a self-assessment tool designed to support EMAS municipalities and local administrations in monitoring and communicating environmental performance. The index covers six thematic areas – air, water, waste, noise, biodiversity, energy/climate – and is based on scientifically sound indicators that are consistent with current regulations. The conference will illustrate how this tool can simplify environmental communication, strengthen transparency towards citizens, encourage the exchange of good practices and contribute to achieving the objectives of the 2030 Agenda
