"As UNCCD COP17 brought governments, civil society, Indigenous Peoples, researchers, youth, and communities together in Ulaanbaatar, the High Atlas Foundation (HAF) brought a clear message from Morocco: land restoration and climate action must put communities at the center.

HAF Vice President Souad Agnaou participated throughout the COP, contributing to civil society discussions and presenting HAF's key messages on community-led restoration, climate finance, sustainable agriculture, and carbon markets."
