UNCCD Library Access
UNCCD library offers limited numbers of hard copies, references to titles and/or electronic full text access for most of the titles included in the catalogue. When opening the selected title, the external document link will lead you to a full text version or to the main reference source.
After the closure of the physical library in 2015, UNCCD library has been focusing on electronic collection of resources available through the online public access catalogue.
The results of the Peoples’ Climate Vote, the world’s biggest ever survey of public opinion on climate change are published !
Covering 50 countries with over half of the world’s population, the survey includes over half a million people under the age of 18, a key constituency on climate change that is typically unable to vote yet in regular elections.
Results show that people often want broad climate policies beyond the current state of play. For example, in eight of the ten survey countries with the highest emissions from the power sector, majorities backed more renewable energy. In four out of the five countries with the highest emissions from land-use change and enough data on policy preferences, there was majority support for conserving forests and land. Nine out of ten of the countries with the most urbanized populations backed more use of clean electric cars and buses, or bicycles.
Four climate policies emerged as the most popular globally:
1. Conservation of forests and land (54% public support);
2. Solar, wind and renewable power (53%);
3. Climate-friendly farming techniques (52%); and
4. Investing more in green businesses and jobs (50%).
LAND is our wealth and our future. A better future is possible if we care, protect, recover, restore and invest in LAND. The ground beneath our feet is more precious than we know. Land is the foundation for all life on Earth.
How land is used and managed influences nature, food, water, energy, climate, and even our health. Today, the pressures on land and the wealth of resources it provides are greater than at any other time in human history.
Don't forget the ground on which we walk and the LAND that feeds us. This LAND is our LAND.
