Israel continues to contribute to the global effort to combat desertification and create a better, greener and healthier world. Although 60% of its land is desert, Israel is the only country in the world where the desert is receding. As a result, the UN determined Israel is an expert in combating desertification, which is the process by which drought, deforestation, and inappropriate agriculture turns fertile land into desert.
Israel combats desertification by sharing its know-how, best practices and technologies with the rest of the world.
