80% of the world’s poorest live in rural areas—many without health care, connectivity, or protection from the climate crisis.​

Yet family farms nourish 80% of the planet.​

Rural development isn’t just about geography—it's about poverty, equity, food security and sustainability. ​

Today is the World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought.​

As droughts worsen, more people are forced to move—especially where food is scarce.​

Early action and inclusive migration policies are key to protecting lives and livelihoods.​

Let’s act before it is too late.

Water is life.
🌊 Today is #WorldWaterDay — a reminder that safe water isn’t a luxury, it’s a right.
