World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought is observed on 17 June each year to promote public awareness of international efforts to combat desertification. 

The day offers a chance to recognize that land degradation neutrality (LDN) is achievable through problem solving, strong community involvement, and co-operation at all levels.
