Clearing landmines saves lives. But what happens afterwards? In #Ukraine, demining is also about restoring soils, forests, farmland and livelihoods. And deciding which landscapes recover first.

Removing mines makes land safe. Good governance gives it a future.

War leaves more than landmines behind.

In #Ukraine, war is contaminating soils and ecosystems. Our new paper examines how conflict-related pollution threatens landscapes and complicates their recovery.

The war will end. Its environmental legacy will remain.

At UNCCD #COP17 in Mongolia, Laurie Marker shared a powerful message: saving cheetahs means saving drylands. 🐆🌍 More than 80% of cheetahs live outside protected areas, alongside pastoral communities. As a top predator, they help sustain biodiversity and healthy rangelands.

Land models sprout as degradation threatens billions of livelihoods
Promising efforts to restore degraded land are now in the spotlight at a time when 40 per cent of the world’s land currently faces degradation and drought, threatening the livelihoods of over three billion people, the head of the UN Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) said Wednesday, announcing three winners of its World Restoration Flagships awards.

The world spends $7.3 trillion on nature-negative activities yearly

But only $220 billion is on nature-based solutions

In context of COP17 desertification talks in Mongolia this piece argues a "grand coalition" is needed for the grand challenges ahead

Grand Planetary Challenges Need a Grand Coalition to Solve Them
NAIROBI, Kenya, August 26 (IPS) - Several coalitions exist today to defend the territories in which people live and work. Global leaders have long understood the importance of shared responsibility for collective security and have invested significant time in establishing networks, partnerships and alliances. In 2025, global spending on defense reached a record $2.9 trillion.

Restoring degraded land costs far less than ignoring it

But countries do ignore it and damage climbs toward $1 trillion a year, UN deputy chief warns

The fix is known and affordable but what's missing, as always, is the funding commitment to act on it

Land degradation is costing far more than restoring: UN deputy chief
Countries are spending too little to restore degraded land even as the economic cost of doing nothing climbs towards $1 trillion a year, UN Deputy Secretary-General Amina Mohammed warned at a major UN land conference in Mongolia.

Countries pledged to restore degraded land. Report: They are falling FAR short.
Wildfires & droughts (made worse by climate change) are degrading land faster than we restore it.
Restoration is not charity. It's survival infrastructure.

Clean energy build-out demands vast land, often on degraded or contested sites

But it requires deliberate design and policy choices, not just deployment speed, to ensure transition heals land rather than just occupying it

The clean energy transition needs land. Can it help restore it too?
What if the infrastructure needed to fight climate change could also help repair the land beneath it?
