Following a key decision at COP16 in Riyadh in December 2024, the process to shape the future direction of the UN Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) is now officially underway. The COP Bureau has approved the Terms of Reference for the Intergovernmental Working Group on the Future Strategic Framework (IWG-FSF), paving the way for nominations. The IWG-FSF will lead the development of a post-2030 strategy for the Convention. Its mandate includes identifying key elements, including possible goals and targets, for the future strategic framework, and conducting a thorough analysis of the current indicators used in national reporting. Building on the milestones of the 2018–2030 Strategic Framework, the IWG-FSF will also consider lessons from its midterm evaluation, insights from the IWG on Drought and broader UN indicators, such as the Sustainable Development Goals. Each regional annex will nominate three representatives. In addition, the group will include five technical experts: one each from civil society and international organizations and three independent experts. Final appointments will be made within two months of the Terms of Reference approval. The approved Terms of Reference will be shared with Parties through the UNCCD national focal points and science and technology correspondents. The IWG-FSF is expected to deliver an interim progress report at the 23rd session of the Committee for the Review of the Implementation of the Convention (CRIC 23) in December 2025.
On 17 May, one month before the Desertification and Drought Day 2024, UNCCD Goodwill Ambassadors Ricky Kej and Inna Modja released the new Her Land anthem to support land rights for women across the world. They are among the key activists and influencers that work with UNCCD to spearhead the campaign #HerLand and mobilize support to secure land rights for women and girls across the world. When land is degraded women and girls are impacted first and most. They are disproportionately affected by poverty, hunger, displacement and violence. And they have minimal control over land itself or decisions about how to manage it. Although women produce half the world’s food, they own less than one-fifth of land worldwide and make up the majority of the world’s hungry. But it doesn’t have to be this way. When land rights are secured, we have seen women and girls increase yields, restore land, and build resilience to drought. Listen to the song, get inspired and join our call to action for Her Land, Her Rights!
New partnerships with the African Wildlife Foundation and the Tropical Biology Association will generate new support to operational focal points to the Global Environment Facility across Africa, helping them learn from one another and work more effectively to monitor their portfolio of GEF-funded projects. The partnerships will provide support for field visits to projects, meetings for improved portfolio management, and data and knowledge sharing. Although these activities will be optional, all operational focal points in Africa who would like to take part can request the assistance to do so. National training on project oversight will also be delivered in some cases. The African Wildlife Foundation will provide support to operational focal points in 23 countries in Eastern and Central Africa: Angola, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Central African Republic, Chad, Congo, Congo DR, Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Gabon, Kenya, Malawi, Mali, Niger, Rwanda, Senegal, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zambia. The Tropical Biology Association will support operational focal points in 25 countries in Western and Southern Africa: Benin, Botswana, Cabo Verde, Cameroon, Comoros, Cote d’Ivoire, Equatorial Guinea, Eswatini, The Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Lesotho, Liberia, Madagascar, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia, Nigeria, Sao Tome and Principe, Seychelles, Sierra Leone, South Africa, Togo, and Zimbabwe. Introductory webinars were held in February 2025 by the African Wildlife Foundation and Tropical Biology Association to introduce the initiative and preview the content to the operational focal points, focused on ensuring they have the tools and means to effectively monitor and oversee the portfolio of GEF-funded projects in their countries. The GEF is also working to finalize agreements with other organizations to expand the initiative in the Latin America and the Caribbean, Asia and the Pacific, and Central and Eastern Europe regions.

The Rainforest Alliance is excited to announce the 2023 Kleinhans Fellow, Alyssa Killingsworth. Alyssa is currently working toward her Master of Science degree from the State University of New York’s College of Environmental Science and Forestry. As Kleinhans Fellow, she will apply her background in interdisciplinary environmental research and forest restoration to examine the effectiveness of Polylepis restoration efforts in the upper Andes in Ecuador. Polylepis is a slow-growing, endangered tree genus, comprising 26 species that grow above the tree line in the upper Andes and provide critical habitat for many endemic and endangered species. Deforestation has dramatically reduced Polylepis forest cover, causing habitat fragmentation and threatening biodiversity. Two non-profit organizations in the region, Acción Andina and Fundación Jocotoco, are working to restore Polylepis forests in collaboration with Community Forestry Enterprises (CFEs) and local Indigenous communities. However, these organizations have limited capacity to monitor their restoration efforts, hampering their ability to understand the effectiveness of these approaches. For her Kleinhans Fellowship research, Alyssa will develop and implement a methodology for monitoring the health of restored Polylepis habitats, to aid in local restoration efforts. Over the course of two years, she will deploy automated recording units to passively monitor acoustics in primary Polylepis forests, restored forests, and the paramo (Andean tundra). Using acoustic data is a cost- and time-effective method to measure the presence and composition of wildlife, which is critical to understanding whether restored forests are providing suitable habitat for sensitive forest-dwelling species. Ultimately, this information will be used by local non-profits and CFEs to improve their restoration methods and make decisions about how to prioritize restoration projects to best enable key species to thrive.

In a continued demonstration of the innovative and inclusive nature of the Global Biodiversity Framework Fund (GBFF), its Advisory Group and Auxiliary Body are meeting on May 14 and 15, in advance of the June meeting of the Fund’s governing Council. The GBFF was established in record time by the Global Environment Facility, in response to a decision by the 15th meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity, as a mechanism to support implementation of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. Its first full-sized projects are already under implementation in Mexico, Brazil, and Gabon, with a work program of three more projects to be considered by the Council in June. The GBFF possesses an innovative governance body that balances representation of donor and recipient countries, while also allowing inputs from non-sovereign current and potential contributors, such as sub-national governments, the private sector, and philanthropies. The Auxiliary Body to the GBFF meets virtually on May 14. The body is established to provide technical advice and recommendations to the GBFF Council on implementation of the programming directions in a comprehensive and independent manner. Sixteen participants, representing 11 different GEF constituencies, will participate in this 2nd meeting. The Advisory Group on Non-Sovereign Participants to the GBFF will meet on May 15, also in a virtual format. This will be the first meeting of the group that provides technical advice to the GBFF Council and the GEF Secretariat on ways to engage non-sovereign contributors, including on GBFF implementation, and scaling up resource mobilization. Non-sovereign contributors include subnational governments, the private sector, and philanthropies. The Government of Quebec, which mobilized close to $1.4 million in support of the GBFF late last year, will participate in this meeting. To date, almost $382 million has been raised in two pledging sessions. These two meetings will be preceded by an observers’ briefing that gathers representatives of civil society, Indigenous Peoples and local communities , women, youth, and the private sector.
