The eleventh session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification convened under the theme “A stronger UNCCD for a Land-Degradation Neutral World” in September 2013 in Windhoek, Namibia.
COP11 considered the results of the second UNCCD scientific conference and reviewed the progress of the completion of the first half of the 10-Year Strategy of the UNCCD (2008-2018). Parties also took decisions on financing, knowledge brokering and the Rio+20 outcomes on land degradation, desertification and drought.
