Desertification: an UNEP assessment seven years after UNCOD
1984
Stiles, D. (United Nations Environment Programme, UNEP, Nairobi (Kenya))
Drought is a temporary phenomenon, desertification is not. Man can do little or nothing to prevent drought, he can halt desertification, which in the long run is a much more serious problem. Realizing this, UNCOD formulated a comprehensive "Plan of Action to combat Desertification" (PACD) which contained a number of recommendations on action to take at the national, regional and international levels to halt and even reverse the desertification process. A questionaire action was undertaken and 55 affected countries responded. The reports are grouped and listed mostly with bibliographic collations. Summary of the findings.
