What is COP17?
The biennial gathering where governments, international agencies, and civil-society groups align on solutions, financing, and partnerships to combat desertification, land degradation, and drought. COP17 is the first ever held in Asia.
Why Mongolia?
Mongolia is one of the most visible front lines of land degradation: 77% of its territory degraded, $2.1B in annual losses. Hosting COP17 puts Mongolia's solutions on the global stage.
