Nearly half of the planet's land mass is at risk of transforming into nonarable desert due to climate change, affecting global food security and livelihoods.
Desertification, marked by loss of fertile land productivity, is driven by factors including climate change, deforestation, and unsustainable practices, affecting 40% of Earth's land.
With one in three people in drylands, the challenge ahead is immense; desertification poses dire threats like food insecurity and mass displacement globally.
The upcoming UN conference COP16 in Saudi Arabia aims to restore 1.5 billion hectares of desertified land by 2030, highlighting urgent measures against desertification.
