Section outline

  • Step-by-step tutorial showing Trends.Earth functions to map and monitor land degradation in the context of the Sustainable Development Goal 15.3.1 Indicator (SDG 15.3.1) & the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) Strategic Objectives 1. Additionally, the video also shows how to assess UNCCD's Strategic Objective Indicator 2-3 (SO 2-3) "Trends in Population Exposure to Land Degradation Disaggregated by Gender" and indicators for Strategic Objective 3, which aims "to mitigate, adapt to, and manage the effects of drought in order to enhance resilience of vulnerable populations and ecosystems".
