Sand and Dust Storms Toolbox

Sand and dust storms (SDS) are becoming one of the most overlooked yet far-reaching global challenges of our time. In 2025, over 330 million people were affected across 150 countries, often with significant negative impacts on local livelihoods, human health, and regional economies. The SDS toolbox provides a centralized repository of information, tools, and technologies that can assist affected countries in their efforts to transition from reactive disaster response to proactive management of SDS sources and impacts.
