Africa: The Great Green Wall Initiative - Designing a Sustainable Path Towards Resilience in Africa's Drylands.

[East African] Aspiration 1 of Agenda 2063 envisions "A prosperous Africa based on inclusive growth and sustainable development" and one of the enabling factors to achieve this ambition is ensuring that the continent has an environmentally sustainable climate and resilient economies and communities. This requires that Africa puts in place measures to sustainably manage the continent's rich biodiversity, forests, land and waters and using adaptive measures to address climate change risks.
