Bridging the Gap: Evolving Finance for Integrated Drought Management

Droughts, land degradation, and floods do not stop at administrative borders. To address these increasing risks, we must work across regions and sectors: sharing knowledge, supporting each other, and building collective resilience.

On 8 October 2025, the CLP on Drought held a regional webinar gathering over 100 participants from more than 25 countries. The event featured:
- Presentations by the UNCCD Secretariat, FAO, and the World Bank, introducing global tools such as the Drought Finance Tracker, DRRF, and RGDRP;
- A panel session with national experts from Moldova, Georgia, Serbia, Romania, and Montenegro, who shared practical insights into financing drought resilience at the country level.
