Abstract
"This Challenge Paper presents a vision for drylands that makes their sustainable development a global rather than a local responsibility. The new interlocking of climatic and geopolitical factors means that drylands can no longer be treated as poor, remote, largely self-subsistent areas and left to their own devices. Through the recommendations presented in this paper, the Millennium Development Goals can be made more achievable, and biodiversity and ecosystem services can be maintained in the best interest of dryland peoples and the global community." (p. viii)
