About this session
Land restoration plays a significant role in promoting sustainable development, environmental conservation, and social inclusion. Women and youth, who often constitute a considerable percentage of the population in many countries, especially developing countries, can particularly benefit from these efforts. This session will explore how land restoration can, at once, benefit women and youth and contribute to achieving global goals, including on climate action, food security, economic growth and gender equality, for a sustainable future. It will also highlight available resources and data platforms that journalists can use in their reporting to increase and improve the coverage of land degradation and related issues.
Hear insights from Iyenemi Ibimina Kakulu, Senior Expert on Gender and Land, G20 Global Land Initiative, UNCCD; Joann Lee, Programme Officer – Stakeholder Engagement, G20 Global Land Initiative, UNCCD; and moderator Stella Paul, Environmental journalist, Earth Journalism Network (EJN).
