The UN Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) convened a High-Level Policy Dialogue to discuss “Coping with Today’s Global Challenges in the Context of the UNCCD Strategy” on 27 May 2008, in Bonn, Germany.

The Dialogue was intended to facilitate a targeted exchange from a number of stakeholders on the ten-year strategic plan and to foster awareness of, and buy-in among, relevant policy and decision makers. The Dialogue consisted of three segments, which addressed policy development, mobilizing for a forward-looking strategy, and Parties’ views on responses to emerging challenges.
