Landlocked Developing Countries Roundtable

This event will focus on addressing land, soil and water management challenges in Landlocked Developing Countries (LLDCs), with particular attention to their implications for climate resilience, food security and sustainable development. Drawing on the latest evidence and the preliminary findings of The Status of Land and Water Resources for Food and Agriculture in the Landlocked Developing Countries of Asia, the discussion will highlight the current state of land degradation and resource management in LLDCs, while exploring innovative technologies, investment opportunities and effective strategies to combat desertification, soil erosion and land degradation. The event will also examine pathways for achieving international development objectives, including SDG 15, and advancing the transition towards more efficient, inclusive, resilient and sustainable agrifood systems.
