Following the adoption of the SDGs by the UN General Assembly, Land Degradation Neutrality (LDN), referring to the SDG 15.3, was adopted by the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) at the 12th Session of the Conference of the Parties (COP 12) in Ankara in October 2015, as a “strong vehicle for driving the implementation of the Convention”. COP 12 furthermore defined LDN as a “state whereby the amount and quality of land resources necessary to support ecosystem functions and services and enhance food security remain stable or increase within specified temporal and spatial scales and ecosystems”. Through its LDN Target Setting Programme (TSP), the Global Mechanism of the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) had put in place a solid monitoring framework to evaluate the progress towards the achievement of LDN. In fact, the LDN TSP allowed the introduction of standardized concepts, definitions, methodologies and best available data to estimate and monitor LDN.
