Today's reading: a review of desertification in Karst landscapes 🏜 Karst landscapes = shaped by the breakdown of soluble rocks like limestone. These terrains are known for their fragile ecosystems and can be susceptible to #desertification. Review: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our launch webinar today - over 130 people from all over the world joined us! 🌎 Missed it? Stay tuned - we will be sharing the recording very shortly 📽️ #HorizonEurope

"@IEEP_eu and @TerrasafeEU are reviewing policies at the EU and national levels to identify the gaps and develop new instruments. The final goal is to synthesize the results of policy recommendations for the regional, national, and EU-level" said Melanie #EU #policy #desertfication

@TerrasafeEU @UnivAveiro @jeaanb @CyprusInstitute 🚨Half of 🇪🇺 countries declare at risk of #desertification yet, the EU has NO dedicated direct strategy or instruments to prevent or reduce desertification. Our Melanie Muro is talking about policy context for tackling desertification

@TerrasafeEU @UnivAveiro 🟥 = bad 🟦 = improving @jeaanb from @CyprusInstitute is presenting #LandDegradation neutrality in pilot areas. Check out @TerrasafeEU website for more on the project ➡️ terrasafe.eu
