The International Day to Combat Desertification and Drought is being observed today (Friday) across the world including Pakistan to raise awareness about the methods of preventing desertification and recovering from drought.
This year’s slogan is “Rising Up from Drought Together”.

Urging a united effort, she said we cannot stop droughts from happening but we can prepare for them by conserving our water.
