Samoa's aligned National Action Programme (NAP) to combat land degradation and mitigate the effects of drought 2015-2020

Description:
Samoa's aligned NAP to combat land degradation and mitigate the effects of drought 2015-2020 is the over-arching environmental policy and planning framework for guiding its implementation of an meeting its obligations to the United Nations Convention to combat Desertification (UNCCD) and Land Degradation and to mitigate the Effects of Droughts. The NAP was first developed and formally launched in 2006. In a simplified sense, the NAP addresses the causes and effects of land degradation events such as erosion, flooding, landslide, compaction, contamination and the decline in the quality of ecological services provided by land-based or soil-based ecosystems. The NAP also addresses the effects of droughts in a proactive manner through building the capacities of communities and ecosystems to become more resilience to the effects of droughts
