Abstract

At the 12th Conference of the Parties to the UN Convention to Combat Desertification, Parties were invited to formulate voluntary targets to achieve land degradation neutrality (LDN). This “Conceptual Framework for Land Degradation Neutrality” is intended to provide a scientifically-sound basis for understanding and implementing LDN, and to inform the development of practical guidance for pursuing LDN and monitoring achievement of LDN for those UNCCD Parties that choose to pursue a LDN target. The LDN conceptual framework focuses on the goal of LDN and the supporting processes required to deliver this goal, including biophysical and socio-economic aspects, and their interactions.
