In 2015, the world community adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, including the sustainable development goals. SDG target 15.3 aims to “combat desertification, restore degraded land and soil, including land affected by desertification, drought and floods, and strive to achieve a land degradation-neutral world” by 2030. Based on this target, the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification developed the Land Degradation Neutrality (LDN) concept. By 31 May 2019, 122 countries, including 11 Mediterranean countries, committed to set voluntary LDN targets. Defining these targets in synergy with other relevant processes such as Aichi Targets, the National Determined Contributions and the Bonn Challenge, will foster partnerships across sectors, ensure the effective use of resources and increase the impact on the ground. This will contribute to the Agadir Commitment expressed by Mediterranean countries to restore in an effective manner at least 8 million hectares of degraded forest ecosystems by 2030.
