Smart leaders are those whom can rise above the politics to climate-proof their lands. I stand ready to work with such leaders. Preventive measures are more cost effective than disaster response, but time is of the essence.
Monique Barbut
“These three winners exemplify the type of leadership and initiatives that make the difference at the grassroots level. They improve livelihoods while fostering good land stewardship. Much of what they offer is simple, but transformational.”
Mr. Luc Gnacadja, Executive Secretary UNCCD
“For over three decades, the international community has grappled with drought impacts and their mitigation. But relief still dominates. In most cases, the response is too late. To date, only one country in the world has a comprehensive national drought policy. Investing in our resilience today costs a fraction of the relief price we will pay tomorrow, and its benefits are worth far more. Becoming a drought-resilient global society is not only possible and affordable, it must be our first and only option.
