Break the Political Deadlock on Drought Through an Integrated Policy Approach - Anthropocene Science Globally, 80% of people are projected to be affected by drought by 2050, creating environmental, economic and societal risks that require urgent attention. The 16th United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) Conference of the Parties (CoP16) held in Riyadh in December 2024, brought drought to the political foreground through proposals for a separate framework or protocol specifically targeting drought. However, the CoP16 negotiations ended in a deadlock. As the UNCCD’s post-2030 framework discussions begin in mid-2025, the possibility for an integrated policy approach to desertification, land degradation and drought under the UNCCD emerges. This paper explores what such an approach could entail. We argue that an integrated policy approach should be internally coherent, facilitate alignment with the goals of and successors to the Paris Agreement, Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, and the Sustainable Development Goals, and enable drought to be addressed as a cross-cutting issue, in line with its biophysical manifestations. Interlinked global challenges need long-term integrated governance and action.

New #YorkResearch explores why we urgently need to break the global deadlock on drought through an integrated policy approach. The study, led by @proflinds.bsky.social, makes a case for a much more effective drought governance framework 👇 🌍
