The Director General then concluded his speech with the following points:
- Desertification is a reality throughout the world in general and in Côte d'Ivoire in particular;
- Several initiatives are being taken by governments. In Côte d'Ivoire, the public and private sectors have committed to combating desertification.
- Climate financing through voluntary carbon credits exists. It represents a real opportunity that must be seized in order to reverse the climate trend.
