2030 Global Strategy for Resilient Drylands (GSRD)
The 2030 Global Strategy for Resilient Drylands (GSRD), launched by CGIAR at COP16 in Riyadh, addresses challenges faced by drylands, home to 2.7 billion people. The strategy targets Asia and Africa to enhance food security, conserve biodiversity, and mitigate climate change impacts like water scarcity and land degradation. Innovative solutions include agrivoltaics, agroforestry, and climate-resilient crops like barley and chickpeas. Collaborative efforts involve stakeholders like ICARDA, ICRISAT, governments, and private entities. By reframing drylands as opportunities for resilience, GSRD promotes sustainable agriculture and inclusive development, with a focus on empowering vulnerable communities.
