Some 3.2 billion people, or almost one third of the global population, are affected by desertification and land loss according to the UN's most senior official dealing with the issue.The loss of land through drought and desertification, which is being driven, in part, by climate change, can have huge impacts on agriculture, development, migration and national and regional economies and sometimes leads to conflict.Ibrahim Thiaw is the Executive Secretary of the UN Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD).Daniel Dickinson spoke to him ahead of the World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought, marked annually on 17 June and began by asking him where the fight to hold back desertification should begin.

Our soils withdraw 70% of freshwater and grow 95% of the food we eat. They are a critical lever to transform how we produce food and tackle the trilemma of food access and affordability, nutrition and health as well as nature and climate. From capital stacks for watersheds linked to farming corridors to skills and capabilities in protecting and restoring soil health, how can breakthrough finance, knowledge models and community collaborations realize the value of soil?

Se Yoon Park, 2023. Image courtesy of Carvalho Park, New York. Se Yoon Park 박세윤 (b. 1979, South Korea) is a sculptor living and working in New York. Park's foundation in architecture is reverberated through the deft construction of his geometries and manipulation of gravity in his sculptural installations. Integral to his perspective is the deconstructivist approach of Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas, founder of Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA), Netherlands, where Park began his career as an architect. Koolhaas' concept of the diagram, sourcing all possibilities on approach to a structure, is a defining principle of Park's practice as a sculptor. Park conducted his undergraduate studies in architecture at the department of Architectural Engineering at Yonsei University in Seoul and holds a Master of Architecture from Columbia University in New York. In addition to his time at OMA, his work in the realm of architecture includes positions with Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG), Fernando Romero Enterprise (FREE), and with Joshua Ramus (REX). Park began his exploration of light and shadow in his own work as a sculptor in 2014. His work has since been shown by the European Culture Centre in Venice, in tandem with the 57th Venice Biennale, at the United Nations in the 13th UNCCD exhibition, and in solo and two-person exhibitions in New York and Seoul, at Carvalho Park (New York), Gallery Mark (Seoul), and Huue Contemporary (Seoul, Singapore), and as public art commissions in South Korea. His work has been featured in the Brooklyn Rail, Wallpaper* magazine, Artnet News, Dovetail magazine, Surface, Naver Design Press, Artsy Editorial, the Seoulive, Segye Daily, Seoul Economy Daily, among others.

What is a holistic approach to Mangrove reforestation that addresses social impact, habitat development, global warming mitigation, positive climate change, bringing together technologies with community stakeholders to create prosperity? Working in the carbon market since 2011, mangroves are finally getting the attention they should have as a climate solution. In an interview with Better Worlds host Julian Guderley, Dr. Irina Fedorenko noted that the emerging market is still messy and not transparent because it didn't receive enough attention in the past few years. At first an underdog, she is now on point with the trends in the carbon market, working with VlinderClimate and Caux Dialogue, and other organizations in unison to democratize the market. Through a holistic approach, these organizations build teams and strengthen partnerships for mangrove reforestation projects, helping communities manage mangroves as a barrier between land and sea to protect land from increasing climate-change storms and the damage they bring. But they have a multitude of other benefits and through their efforts, communities see direct benefits that mangroves have on shoreline communities in social impact, habitat development and positive climate impact, and their own prosperity. Mangroves, which Irina refers to in this podcast as “magical trees” due to their vast ability to create better ecosystems. Specifically, mangroves stabilize the shores, protect land from sea, holding rich nutrients in the soil, and sequester five times the carbon dioxide of the Amazon rainforest, the most important carbon sink in the world. Irina talks with Better Worlds about how communities are benefiting from new mangrove-related business opportunities as well, citing new projects in Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Kenya and Senegal. Irina discusses how the shoreline communities are the key stakeholders in any mangrove effort. To help keep them engaged as stewards of their own environment, the partnership with these organizations brings to them 50 percent of the carbon revenue. Irina explains how this creates prosperity for community stakeholders and the roles of each partner, from upkeep to technological mapping to show sequestration in “almost” real time. BIO For the past seven years Dr. Federenko has been the Managing Director of Caux Dialogue on Environment and Security leading the conference team and organizing the dialogue on links between desertification, land restoration & conflict in the context of climate change. Advising on strategies and planning for the future content of the Caux Dialogue on Land & Security, in partnership with UNCCD & IUCN. Irina is also the Chief Carbon Officer at Vlinder where she works on creating most impact on Climate Change mitigation with Nature-Based Solutions. Bringing expertise on carbon markets, landscape restoration and technology. Irina co-foundedd the Kindness Collective 6 years ago. The Collective is a brand of natural detergent launched by the Oxford students social enterprise. It aims to provide a reliable source of livelihood to some of the rural and communities living in and around particular forest areas in India. Totaling over 100 million, the indigenous people are insulated from the technological, social and economic advancements of the modern world. While many of these people have never been to a school, they spend most of their time on the farms to grow enough for themselves or forage through the forests for food, fuel and medicinal herbs. Thanks to living in the lap of nature, the forest communities have accumulated a great knowledge system in utilizing herbs, fruits, flowers, seeds, nuts and barks of the forests in their lifestyles. Adding business skills and education to this knowledge, Kindness Collective promotes the use of these organic forest products and helps the local communities.

Salve, salve, Cacdista! No resumo de notícias da semana (06 a 13 de maio), falaremos sobre: - OTAN: Finlândia anuncia que pedirá adesão à aliança; Suécia deve fazer o mesmo; - CDH: Conselho abre investigação sobre possíveis crimes cometidos por tropas russas; - Refugiados: mais de 6 milhões de pessoas deixaram a Ucrânia desde 24 de fevereiro; - Sri Lanka: protestos e repressão violenta levam à renúncia de primeiro-ministro; - COP 15: Conferência das Partes da UNCCD busca soluções para a degradação do solo; - Japão: o parceiro do Brasil em um novo projeto de cooperação em agricultura.

No continente mais afetado do mundo pela desertificação dos solos, uma cúpula internacional tenta encontrar alternativas para evitar que o fenômeno não se espalhe ainda mais – não só na África, como em todo o planeta. A conferência da ONU sobre o tema acontece na Costa do Marfim durante duas semanas. Participantes de 197 países se reúnem para discutir soluções para o problema, que já atinge mais de 40% das superfícies do globo. Se nada for feito, o que já é ruim vai ficar pior: com menos terras produtivas disponíveis, cresce a tensão para o aumento da produção alimentar nas áreas cultiváveis, levando a uma degradação de novas regiões. Em 2050, ela poderia atingir uma área equivalente a toda a América do Sul, com impacto não só na segurança alimentar e hídrica, mas também nas mudanças do clima e na biodiversidade. "Sessenta e cinco por centro das terras cultiváveis na África foram perdidas nos últimos 70 anos. Neste período, a população africana cresceu pelo menos 600%”, disse o secretário-executivo da Convenção das Nações Unidas pela Luta contra a Desertificação, Ibrahim Thiaw, em entrevista à RFI. "Ou seja, enfrentamos uma situação em que, embora o continente não seja superpopuloso, a exploração dos recursos naturais se tornou insustentável.” Causas naturais e humanas Com extensas áreas secas e áridas, a África é ainda mais vulnerável ao impacto do aquecimento do planeta, já que as condições climáticas acentuam a desertificação, observa Patrice Burger, membro do painel de especialistas das Nações Unidas sobre o fenômeno e fundador da organização Cari, que atua no continente.  “Costumamos dizer que a degradação dos solos é causada por causas naturais, como a seca, mas também pelo aumento das temperaturas e outros fenômenos que até parecem paradoxais, como quando ocorre uma chuva abundante sobre a terra seca. É nesse momento que ocorrem tremendas erosões sob o solo”, explica Burger, ao programa C'est Pas du Vent, da RFI. "O problema da erosão é que quando a água vem, ela só escorre e evapora neste solo. A água não entra mais nesta terra degradada e o solo não pode mais ter o seu papel de esponja, fazendo com que a desertificação se amplifique.” A atuação humana, porém, também é altamente responsável pela degradação dos solos, a exemplo das queimadas e do abuso de agrotóxicos no Brasil. “As causas humanas são as más práticas agrícolas, deixar o solo descoberto, revirar o solo em grandes profundidades, reduzir a biodiversidade viva no solo, o que inclui usar produtos químicos que matam a vida do solo. A base de um solo, para que ele funcione e faça circular o ar e a água, é ter micro-organismos vivos”, ressalta o especialista. Recuperação e conservação As soluções existem, mas demandam mudanças profundas de práticas e investimentos. Ibrahim Thiaw destaca o exemplo da Grande Muralha Verde do Sahel, projeto faraônico iniciado em 2007 em onze países africanos, para tentar restaurar 100 milhões de hectares de terras.  “É um programa extremamente ambicioso, que está em curso, com a promessa de financiamento de alguns parceiros que chega a US$ 19 bilhões, nos próximos cinco anos. Os países da África Austral querem fazer o mesmo e estão organizando um programa similar”, salienta. "E o norte da África poderia fazer parte da grande iniciativa do Oriente Médio, lançada pela Arábia Saudita e que poderia ir até o Magreb africano”, complementa o secretário-executivo da UNCCD.  Além de restaurar as áreas degradadas, outro aspecto importante das discussões na COP da Desertificação é avançar na criação de extensas áreas protegidas. O objetivo seria chegar a um total de 4 milhões de quilômetros quadrados, o equivalente aos territórios da Índia e do Paquistão.

India is a multi-religious, multi-lingual, multi-racial, multi-cultural country. Its secular status is, however, a heated topic for debate today. India has a long and mostly honorable tradition of using soft power in its diplomacy. Religion plays a very central and definitive role in Indian society and culture. It can often be seen to influence businesses and the economy.We have with us Sadhguru interviewed by Erik Solheim.Sadhguru is a yogi and a mystic.A man whose passion spills into everything he encounters. Named one of India's 50 most influential people.Sadhguru's work has touched the lives of millions worldwide through his transformational programs.He has initiated large-scale global initiatives, including the UNCCD accredited Isha Foundation, with 11 million volunteers in 300 centers worldwide.In 2017, Sadhguru also launched Rally for Rivers, a campaign to raise awareness about the dire state of India's rivers, which was supported by 162 million people, making it the largest ever ecological initiative of its kind. Erik Solheim was Executive Director of the UN Environment Programme between May 2016 and November 2018. Prime minister Narendra Modi recoqnizes Erik as a friend of India and wrote a letter to him last week on the Republic Day of India.Listen to this insightful conversation and stay tuned for our upcoming episodes.

The Malian musician Inna Modja is not only a UNCCD Land Ambassador, but also the protagonist of the documentary 'The Great Green Wall'. She takes us on an epic journey along Africa's ambitious project to plant trees across the entire Sahel region and thereby hold back the expansion of the Sahara desert. The project, which is now being implemented in more than 20 countries across Africa, is a symbol of hope in the face of one of the biggest challenges of our time – desertification.

"On a fait deux pas, on a reculé d'un pas... parce qu'en 25 ans, dans un continent comme l'Afrique, la population a doublé, la demande en terre a augmenté et les ressources ont été dégradées." C'est le constat sans appel fait par Ibrahim Thiaw, Secrétaire exécutif de la Convention sur la lutte contre la désertification et la sécheresse. Il y a 25 ans, entrait en vigueur la Convention qu'il dirige.
