Sowing the Seeds of Change for Our Future
United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) COP16
2 December – 13 December 2024, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
Raising ambition and accelerating action – the Brahma Kumaris at UNCCD COP16
The sixteenth session of the Conference of the Parties (COP16) of the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) will take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, from 2 to 13 December 2024. UNCCD COP 16 is more than a critical milestone – it represents a moonshot moment to raise global ambition and accelerate action on land and drought resilience through a people-centered approach.
Sowing the seeds by the Brahma Kumaris
As part of the BK Environment Initiative, an international BK team will be present in Riyhad for COP16. Meet the team. The Brahma Kumaris's approach to regenerating the land and building drought-resilient communities is rooted in sowing the seeds of change in the consciousness of individuals. By restoring and empowering ourselves to become more compassionate, respectful, courageous, and determined, we can act for the benefit of both people and the land with an attitude of brotherhood and care for our shared home, the Earth.
