"Unlike droughts - temporary periods of low rainfall - aridity represents a permanent, unrelenting transformation."
"Since 1990, arid regions have expanded by an area a third larger than India and now cover 40 percent of the Earth's land excluding Antarctica."
"If nothing is done to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the number of people living in drylands will more than double from 2.3 billion to 5 billion in 2100."
