The Riyadh Action Agenda is a landmark platform, launched at UNCCD COP16 in Riyadh in December 2024, by the UNCCD COP16 Presidency, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

By advancing pledges under the Riyadh Global Drought Resilience Partnership and other initiatives, the Riyadh Action Agenda enhances capacity, mobilizes finance, and promotes practical solutions aligned with UNCCD objectives and targets. It strengthens synergies across the Rio Conventions, recognizing that tackling land degradation through restoration and resilience addresses the climate and biodiversity crises, while advancing the SDGs.
