This Good Practice Guidance on Strategic Objective Three, to mitigate, adapt to, and manage the effects of drought in order to enhance resilience of vulnerable populations and ecosystems, was prepared to support Parties to report on the progress made towards Strategic Objective 3, which has the aim of mitigating, adapting to, and managing the effects of drought in order to enhance resilience of vulnerable populations and ecosystems. The Guidance informs the work of Parties, particularly for global level reporting of the hazard posed by drought, the population exposed to drought and the vulnerability of those exposed to harm. These are the three fundamental components of drought risk, and each is represented by an indicator identified in the monitoring framework.
