Drought is one of the most serious environmental challenges we currently face in Poland and worldwide. Experts in hydrology, climatology, agriculture, and water management agree – the problem is growing and it is long-term. Increasingly frequent and prolonged periods without rainfall, rising temperatures, and climate change are leading to lower groundwater levels, drying up of rivers and lakes, and deteriorating conditions for agriculture and ecosystems.

Every year, on June 17th, we celebrate the World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought. This date was established by the UN General Assembly in 1994, marking the 31st anniversary of the adoption of the UNCCD
One of the main goals of the “Stop Drought! Start Retention!” project is an educational campaign. We aim to raise awareness about the threat of drought, its causes, and ways to mitigate its effects.
This year, the theme for Desertification and Drought Day is “United for Land: Our Legacy. Our Future.” It draws attention to the future of land management – our most precious resource that provides stability and prosperity to billions of people around the world.
