Below is the full text of PM Narendra Modi s speech at the UN on Monday.
Excellency, President of the General Assembly, Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen,
1. I thank the President of General Assembly, for organising this High-Level Dialogue.
2. Land is the fundamental building block for supporting all lives and livelihoods and all of us understand that the web of life functions as an interconnected system.
3. Sadly Land degradation affects over two-thirds of the world today. If left unchecked it will erode the very foundations of our societies, economies, food security, health, safety and quality of life.
4. Therefore we have to reduce the tremendous pressure on land and its resources. Clearly a lot of work lies ahead of us. But we can do it. We can do it together.
