From data to action: The Land Story showcases global innovations in tackling land degradation and drought

从数据到行动：《土地故事》展示了应对土地退化和干旱的全球创新

Every year, over 100 million hectares of land are degraded through urbanization, deforestation, and overexploitation, trends accelerated by climate change. Land degradation now affects one in four people worldwide, while droughts become more frequent and severe. The results of the UNCCD 2022 national reporting process, encompassing data from 126 countries, provide a startling view into the rapid global loss of productive land. This data is publicly accessible on the UNCCD Data Dashboard, asserting the need for actionable information in combating land degradation.

每年，超过1亿公顷的土地因城市化、森林砍伐和过度开发而退化，气候变化加速了这一趋势。土地退化现在影响到全世界四分之一的人，而干旱变得更加频繁和严重。《荒漠化公约》2022年国家报告进程的结果包括来自126个国家的数据，为全球生产性土地的迅速丧失提供了令人震惊的视角。这些数据可在《荒漠化公约》数据仪表板上公开查阅，表明在防治土地退化方面需要可操作的信息。

In response, the UNCCD, alongside WOCAT and the University of Bern's Centre for Development and Environment, are launching The Land Story, a new publication that shares insights and methodologies from 30 countries that contributed to improving land degradation and drought reporting. While far from exhaustive, the publication offers a unique view into diverse national approaches to challenges in data availability, reliability and resources.

作为回应，《荒漠化公约》与世界土著人民组织和伯尔尼大学发展与环境中心一道，正在推出《土地故事》，这是一份新出版物，分享了30个国家为改善土地退化和干旱报告做出贡献的见解和方法。虽然远非详尽无遗，但该出版物提供了一个独特的视角，介绍了各国应对数据可用性、可靠性和资源方面挑战的不同方法。

Country highlights from The Land Story:

土地故事中的国家亮点：

Panama: By convening over 30 cross-sectoral stakeholders in a workshop, Panama collaboratively selected land cover maps with local relevance, strengthening data accuracy over global datasets and boosting national confidence in degradation estimates.

巴拿马：巴拿马召集了30多个跨部门利益攸关方参加一个研讨会，共同选择了具有地方相关性的土地覆盖图，加强了全球数据集的数据准确性，提高了国家对退化估计的信心。

Bhutan: Leveraging both expert insight and on-the-ground data, Bhutan aligned land productivity mapping with the country's known realities. Maps and statistics on areas affected by forest fires, infestations, timber extraction and mining further enriched the accuracy of their reporting.

不丹：不丹利用专家的见解和实地数据，使土地生产力制图与该国已知的现实情况相一致。关于受森林火灾、虫害、木材开采和采矿影响地区的地图和统计数据进一步提高了报告的准确性。

Türkiye: Focusing on soil health, Türkiye developed 42 regionally specific conversion factors to estimate changes in soil organic carbon (SOC) from land cover transitions. This innovative approach improved precision in assessing SOC changes across the country.

Türkiye：以土壤健康为重点，Türkiye开发了42个区域特定的转换因子，以估计土地覆盖转变引起的土壤有机碳（SOC）变化。这一创新方法提高了评估全国SOC变化的准确性。

South Africa: With access to sex-disaggregated subnational data on social, economic and infrastructural factors, South Africa analyzed drought vulnerability trends since 2014. This data-driven approach has allowed for a nuanced understanding of drought drivers and facilitated tailored resilience plans across diverse regions.

南非：通过获取按性别分列的社会、经济和基础设施因素的国家以下各级数据，南非分析了自2014年以来的干旱脆弱性趋势。这种数据驱动的方法使人们能够对干旱驱动因素有细致入微的了解，并促进了不同区域有针对性的抗灾计划。

Upcoming events and dissemination

即将举行的活动和传播

The publication will debut further at UNCCD COP 16 in Riyadh, during a side event co-hosted by WOCAT and the UNCCD on December 6, 2024. Representatives from featured countries will discuss best practices and lessons learned, showcasing replicable methods for future reporting. An interactive plenary on national reporting, scheduled for December 4, 2024, will precede this event.

该出版物将于2024年12月6日在利雅得举行的UNCCD COP16上，在WOCAT和UNCCD共同主办的会外活动期间进一步首次亮相。专题国家的代表将讨论最佳做法和经验教训，展示可供今后报告借鉴的方法。定于2024年12月4日举行的关于国家报告的互动全体会议将在本次活动之前举行。
