Document(s) 10 of 66
The material content of the texts on Level 3 are directly sourced from "Ecosystems & Human Well-being: Desertification Synthesis", a report of the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (MA) produced in 2005 by a large international panel of scientists.
This MA report synthesizes and integrates findings related to desertification from the four MA Working Groups: Conditions and Trends, Scenarios, Responses and Sub-global Assessments, in response to requests for information received through the U.N. Convention to Combat Desertification, (UNCCD).
Involving some 1,360 of the world’s leading experts, the MA is a partnership among several international organizations, including the Convention on Biological Diversity, U.N. Convention to Combat Desertification, Ramsar Convention on Wetlands, Convention on Migratory Species, five UN agencies (WHO , FAO , UNESCO , UNEP , UNDP ), the World Bank, and IUCN .
