The economic dimension of desertification, land degradation and drought (DLDD) is increasingly gaining importance.


For this reason, the UNCCD has launched an initiative to help make the economic side of desertification, land degradation and drought (DLDD) an integral part of policy strategies and decision-making. An important step in this direction was the Partnership meeting on the Assessment of the »Economics of Desertification, Land Degradation and Drought« ( EDLDD), held December 14 – 15, 2010.


This publication contains a summary of the discussions and recommendations from the meeting that took place in Bonn, Germany. It is part of an effort to raise awareness of the economic aspects of desertification, land degradation and drought, and of the costs and benefits of sustainable land management (SLM).
