The Assessment Report on Land Degradation and
Restoration by the Intergovernmental Science-Policy
Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES)
provides a critical analysis of the state of knowledge
regarding the importance, drivers, status, and trends
of terrestrial ecosystems. The Report recognizes that
combatting land degradation, which is a pervasive, systemic
phenomenon occurring in all parts of the world, is an urgent
priority in order to protect the biodiversity and ecosystem
services that are vital to all life on Earth and to ensure
human well-being. The Report identifies a mix of governance
options, policies and management practices that can help
support stakeholders working at all levels to reduce the
negative environmental, social and economic consequences
of land degradation and to rehabilitate and restore degraded
land. The Report encompasses all the terrestrial regions
and biomes of the world, recognizing that land degradation
drivers and processes can vary in severity within regions
and countries as much as between them, and includes
the full range of human-altered systems, including but not
limited to drylands, agricultural and agroforestry systems,
savannahs and forests and aquatic systems associated with
these areas.
