Скачать или смотреть 100 Days of Leadership: Dr. Yasmine Fouad on land, resilience & our universal mission

Marking her first 100 days as Executive Secretary, Dr. Yasmine Fouad shares her strategic vision for the UN Convention to Combat Desertification from our headquarters in Bonn. From her early career, inspired by the interconnected beauty of nature, to her leadership of the global voice for land, her vision is clear: we must unite people and policy to protect our planet.

In this exclusive podcast episode, Dr. Fouad discusses the "unique value" of the Convention and her priorities for the future:

🔹 The great connector: How land acts as the crucial link between climate action and biodiversity conservation.

🔹 From reaction to resilience: Shifting the global mindset from responding to disasters to proactively building drought resilience for the most vulnerable.

🔹 A people-centered approach: Empowering women, youth, and local and indigenous communities, whose traditional knowledge holds the key to restoring our ecosystems.

🔹 The road to Mongolia: Looking ahead to COP17 and the International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists in 2026.

"This is a universal mission," Dr. Fouad reminds us. "To protect the most beautiful and the one and only planet that we have."
