Imagine a world where fertile soil turns to dust , food supplies shrink , and climate disasters multiply . That's the reality desertification could bring—and it’s why global leaders are racing to address this environmental threat at a major UN summit in Saudi Arabia this December.
The Desertification Countdown
The 16th UN Convention to Combat Desertification (COP16) will gather nearly 200 countries in Riyadh under the banner 'Our Land, Our Future'. The goal? To draft urgent solutions for restoring degraded land and boosting drought resilience. With 40% of Earth’s land already compromised by erosion and overuse, this isn’t just a 'dry' topic—it’s a survival challenge.
Why Should You Care?
Food Security at Risk: Degraded soil threatens crop yields, risking hunger for millions.
Climate Domino Effect: Barren land amplifies global warming by releasing stored carbon.
Migration Crises: Communities forced to flee droughts could displace 700 million people by 2030.
The summit will also spotlight innovations like AI-powered farming and 'green wall' projects to reclaim deserts. But success hinges on global cooperation—and young voices demanding action. After all, your future depends on it.
