Africa: 2022 Global Land Review

A Global Land Outlook (GLO) thematic report was prepared for Southern Africa on evidence-based, policy-relevant information and trends. The report was prepared in consultation with the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) secretariat and member states of the Southern African Development Community (SADC), who are actively responding to the growing challenge of land degradation. This GLO focuses on the cross-sectoral linkages of land-water-energy systems or nexus points that can be used to leverage progress towards achieving Land Degradation Neutrality (LDN). The report highlights gaps that need to be addressed and good practices that could be scaled up and out to ensure sustainable land management across the region.
