The UNCCD selected six reporters from Nigeria, Kenya, India, Spain, Brazil, and Mexico for a fully funded COP17 media fellowship in Ulaanbaatar. The fellowship aims to deepen coverage of desertification, drought, and land restoration ahead of the 197-party conference.
The UN's desertification summit opens in Ulaanbaatar on August 17, aiming to turn $12bn in pledges into on-the-ground land restoration and drought resilience projects. With record heat, wildfires and a developing super El Niño, negotiators face pressure to prioritize food security and farmer livelihoods in vulnerable regions. The talks are a key test of climate adaptation finance beyond the UNFCCC process.
