Preserving our common ground. UNCCD Ten years on: 2004 anniversary magazine June 17, 2004 marks the tenth anniversary of the adoption of the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification. To commemorate this special anniversary, the secretariat has produced a publication highlighting the unique aspects and work of the Convention since its inception. Titled "Preserving our common ground: UNCCD Ten years on", this publication encompasses a range of articles representing themes strategic to the UNCCD process. The main article, "Securing a global common good", exemplifies the Convention as a potential tool yet to be fully utilized to address acute social, economic and political issues intrinsically linked to the effects of desertification and drought. Insight is also provided on the many organs vital to the Convention’s efficacy such as the UNCCD Secretariat, the Global Environment Facility and the Global Mechanism
