dc.descriptionLand degradation is worldwide in geographic extent and global in its environmental and socio-economic impacts. Drylands that are particularly vulnerable to land degradation occupy 41% of Earth's land. More than two billion people live in these areas and are at risk from the effects on their livelihoods.
