World Day to Combat Desertification 2008"Combating land degradation for sustainable agriculture" - In order to work along the same lines with the 16th and 17th sessions of the third implementation cycle of the United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development (CSD) focusing on the issues of Agriculture, Rural development, Land, Drought, Desertification, and Africa, the UNCCD Secretariat proposed that this year’s celebration of 17 of June be focused around the themes of Combating Land Degradation for Sustainable Agriculture. This constituted a concrete way to support the discussions of the 16th session and provided useful inputs for the 17th CSD, next May 2009.
