World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought

In 1994, the United Nations General Assembly declared a “World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought" (Resolution A/RES/49/115). Since 2019, it has been known simply as Desertification and Drought Day and is observed on 17 June to promote public awareness of international efforts to combat desertification.
