Hosted by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the record-breaking WED 2024 focused on restoring land, halting desertification and building drought resilience under the theme “Our Land. Our Future. We are #GenerationRestoration.” The theme of this year’s WED was particularly significant because healthy land is a critical enabler of of the success all three Rio Conventions: on biological diversity, climate change and desertification. The year 2024 marks the first time all three conventions are holding their annual Conference of the Party meetings back to back in the last quarter of the same year.
