Desertification, along with climate change and the loss of biodiversity were identified as the greatest challenges to sustainable development during the 1992 Rio Earth Summit. Established in 1994, the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD), one of the three “Rio conventions” is the sole legally binding international agreement linking environment and development to sustainable land management.

In September 2015, the Sustainable Development Goals were adopted. Goal 15 “Life on Land” has the target to achieve a land degradation-neutral world by 2030 (target 15.3). In October 2015, the 12th session of the Conference of the Parties (COP) of the UNCCD endorsed the concept of Land Degradation Neutrality (LDN) as a guiding principle for the implementation of the Convention and requested the Global Mechanism to assist countries in establishing targets to achieve SDG target 15.3 through an “LDN target setting Support Programme”. At its 13th session, the COP asked the GM to support countries in mobilizing resources to carry-out investments to meet their LDN targets and other activities to meet the Land SDG.

The Global Mechanism (GM) is an organ of the UNCCD that is mandated to support country Parties to the Convention in the mobilization of resources for its implementation. With the view to increasing the effectiveness and efficiency of existing financial mechanisms, the GM is requested to promote “actions leading to the mobilization and channeling of substantial financial resources, including for the transfer of technology, on a grant, and/or on concessional or other terms, to affected developing country Parties” (Article 21, para. 4, UNCCD).

The Global Mechanism is currently spearheading several initiatives to implement its resources mobilization mandate and respond to Parties’ need for innovative approaches to attain the Convention’s aims. These initiatives include:
(i) The Land Degradation Neutrality Target Setting Programme (TSP) to support countries in the setting and strengthening of voluntary, policy coherent, quantitative, time bound and geographically explicit LDN targets and associated measures to achieve SDG target 15.3 by 2030.

(ii) The partnership for project preparation which supports countries in the development of gender-responsive Transformative Projects and Programmes (TPPs) through the provision of financial and technical support to prepare project concept notes and project proposals jointly with partners.

The Global Environment Facility recently approved an enabling activity proposal titled ‘Integrating Land Degradation Neutrality (LDN) into land use planning frameworks to strengthen national UNCCD enabling environments’. The project is implemented by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and executed by the Global Mechanism. The project objective is to strengthen LDN governance and land use planning in a gender responsive manner. The project will assist countries in mainstreaming LDN into integrated land use planning1 frameworks at (sub)national level as an effective way to strengthen national UNCCD enabling environments for LDN implementation, in line with recent scientific and technical guidance provided by the Science-Policy Interface (SPI) of the UNCCD, and in coordination with relevant ongoing complementary work of UNCCD partners in this area.

1 The term “Integrated Land Use Planning (ILUP)”, as per the definition adopted by the Science-Policy Interface of the UNCCD, refers to assessing and allocating land-based resources across a landscape, accounting for differing uses and demands from different users. It requires coordination of planning and management across sectors concerned with land resources and their use, within a spatial administrative or geographic unit (e.g., catchment, region, and/or country). Its purpose is to identify the combination of land uses that can meet stakeholders’ needs while safeguarding resources for the future. By examining all land uses in an integrated manner, land-use planning identifies the most efficient trade-offs between land-use options and links social and economic development with environmental protection and enhancement, thus helping to achieve sustainable land management. Integrated land use planning is an umbrella term that includes more specific approaches such as — but not limited to— territorial planning and spatial planning.

**Responsibilities**:
Under the direct supervision of the LDN and Land Restoration Programme Coordinator and overall supervision of the Managing Director, and in close collaboration with the TSP and TPP team leads, the Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) Unit of the UNCCD secretariat, and project counterparts from IUCN and Conservation International (CI), the incumbent will be responsible for leading the implementation of the GEF 7 Enabling Activity Project on “Integrating Land Degradation Neutrality (LDN) into land use planning frameworks
