Sustainably Managing and Restoring Land

Land creates goods and services that provide a foundation for sustainable livelihoods. Yet pressure on global land resources threatens ecosystems. The GEF supports land restoration, combats land degradation and desertification, and mitigates the effects of drought through sustainable land management efforts.
