Abstract

‘Leave no one behind’ is a principle central to achieving the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and ending the marginalisation of dryland areas requires that governments, development partners and investors prioritise investments to tackle poverty and climate vulnerability in African and Asian drylands. Successful approaches will build on the strengths, dynamics and characteristics of dryland systems, including their inherent adaptive capacity. This policy brief describes key areas of impact and resilience, as well as referencing SDGs of particular importance.
