UNCCD Conference vs EFTA

The United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) conference App is brought to you by the UNCCD secretariat. It provides an easy tool for participants in official UNCCD conferences to have access to the latest scheduling information, all official documents, and other relevant information related to the UNCCD process and conference logistics. The UNCCD conference App is a useful tool for all delegates and other participants for all sessions of the UNCCD Conference of Parties (COP), the Committee of Science and technology (CST) and the Committee for the Review of the Implementation of the Convention (CRIC). Established in 1994, the UNCCD is the sole legally binding international agreement linking environment and development to sustainable land management. The Convention addresses specifically the arid, semi-arid and dry sub-humid areas, known as the drylands, where some of the most vulnerable ecosystems and peoples can be found.

The 12th Conference of the European Family Therapy Association (EFTA), and the 21st Congress of the Red Europea y Latinoamericana de Escuelas Sistémicas (RELATES), together, co-organized with Unité DIPHE of Université Lyon 2 will take place in Lyon, France from the 27 to 30 August 2025, bringing together professionals from across Europe and Latin America to explore the transformative power of systemic thinking and practice in today's rapidly evolving world. In a time of both extraordinary scientific advancement and global unrest, systemic practitioners are called to respond to relational suffering and social fragmentation. This congress invites participants to co-create knowledge, exchange ideas, and build connections across disciplines, cultures, and perspectives by combining the theoretical foundations of the systemic approach with the diversity and plurality of people and clinical practices, all enriched by research data. Participants will engage in interactive, artistic, and dialogical formats designed to stimulate reflection, creativity, and collaboration. Whether through shared understandings or critical dialogue, the aim is to explore differences that make a difference and to reinforce the commitment to healing and transformation. EFTA–RELATES 2025 will offer four days of dialogue, learning, and renewed commitment to advancing systemic approaches that support and empower individuals, families, institutions, and communities.
