I am honoured to be among you today on the occasion of the international conference on the Future of Drylands, organized by UNESCO in collaboration with the Tunisian Government and its many institutional partners.
This conference is one of the many events taking place within the framework of the International Year of Deserts and Desertification and that brings together eminent scientists, field experts, practitioners and policy-makers. This event consolidates the accomplishments of the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification and recognizes the scourge of desertification by the international community as a problem of worldwide proportions that affects all regions of the world.
