Article-Summary: 

From Kashmir to the Congo, the UNHCR joined hands with internally displaced persons and refugees to celebrate World Environment Day. This year's theme was Desert and Desertification and the slogan, "Don't Desert Drylands!" But in order for the theme to be more applicable and relevant to most refugee situations, UNHCR chose to use the slogan "Combat Land Degradation in Refugee-Hosting Areas."
