LDN in Azerbaijan
2021Also available in:
No results found.Azerbaijan is located in the southern Caucasus, with mountains covering 47 percent of the country. Rapid development as a result of the oil boom has led to a decrease in poverty, but numerous sites are highly polluted with derived contaminants. To lessen its economy’s dependence on the oil sector, the acceleration of agriculture development is a major national strategic policy. Water scarcity represents a limitation for agricultural productivity causing degradation problems particularly severe and affecting the most vulnerable such as rural communities and smallholder farmers. Most of the population live in either rain-fed areas with high drought frequency or irrigated areas with high water stress, and severe land degradation is affecting their livelihoods. -

LDN in Bosnia and Herzegovina
2021Also available in:
No results found.Bosnia and Herzegovina, in south-eastern Europe, is mostly covered by mountain forests. Agricultural land of good quality is scarce and the increasingly growing population in urban areas has accelerated the loss of fertile land. In rural areas, abandoned lands are left exposed to erosion and become unproductive. Degradation is being exacerbated by an increased frequency and intensity of extreme climate events. The government has adopted an Action Program to combat land degradation and drought and set national LDN targets.
