The United Nations General Assembly has officially designated the years 2025 to 2034 as the United Nations Decade on Combating Sand and Dust Storms.
In a unanimous decision, the General Assembly adopted the resolution titled \"United Nations Decade on Combating Sand and Dust Storms (2025-2034)\" without a vote, marking a significant commitment to addressing these challenging meteorological phenomena.
Sand and dust storms pose serious threats to health, agriculture, and infrastructure across various regions worldwide. By dedicating a decade to combating these storms, the UN aims to foster international collaboration, enhance early warning systems, and develop sustainable strategies to mitigate their impact.
This initiative is expected to drive innovation in environmental monitoring technologies and promote policies that support affected communities. The decade-long effort underscores the global priority of ensuring a safer and more resilient future in the face of increasing climate variability.
