From 17 to 28 August 2026, Ulaanbaatar hosted COP17 of the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD). At the Convention\u2019s invitation, Racines de France\u00ae spoke on 24 August at the Finance Day of the Business4Land pavilion.<\/p>\n

Turning degraded land into restoration assets<\/h3>\n

The question put to speakers was simple: how can degraded land become restoration assets capable of attracting investment? We answered with our two French demonstration sites, a former exhausted vineyard in Castries (H\u00e9rault) and a forest in the Cantal, where carbon, water, soil and biodiversity are measured together and certified by an independent standard.<\/p>\n

What COP17 delivered<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • 34 decisions adopted, including decisions on rangelands and pastoralism.<\/li>\n
  • The private sector is entering the game: Business4Land is establishing itself as its main entry point, and land resilience is starting to be seen as an asset class.<\/li>\n
  • Public funding remains under pressure: the Global Environment Facility (GEF) announced $3.9 billion, down around 27%.<\/li>\n
  • See you in Egypt in 2028 for COP18.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    For Racines de France\u00ae, the message is clear: funding will follow projects that can prove their results on the ground.<\/p>\n
