DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Land degradation – the loss of the productive potenti
 al of land – is a global challenge that increases the vulnerability of peo
 ple already at risk of impacts from climate variability and change. This l
 ecture highlights some open-source resources for monitoring land degradati
 on and discusses plans to integrate with gridded population and sub-nation
 al livelihood datasets. In so doing\, I demonstrate how UN member nations 
 can implement a standardized framework towards achieving Sustainable Devel
 opment Goal (SDG) target 15.3.1\, improving the livelihoods of those most 
 affected\, and build resilience to safeguard against the most extreme effe
 cts of climate change. \n\nSpeaker: Kevin Mwenda\, Assistant Professor of 
 Population Studies\, Brown University\n
