Recognised by the United Nations, World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought is an opportunity for teachers to raise awareness about land degradation and its impact on communities. This day encourages discussions on sustainable land use, water conservation, and climate resilience. Lyfta lesson plans and teaching resources engage students in activities that promote responsible land management and the importance of preserving ecosystems. By learning about desertification and drought, students become advocates for a greener, healthier planet.
