Anthropogenic climate change has driven over 5 million km² of drylands towards desertification
A. L. Burrell, J. P. Evans, et al.
This groundbreaking study reveals that between 1982 and 2015, 6% of the world's drylands faced desertification linked to climate change and unsustainable land use. Despite a global increase in greenery, 12.6% of drylands were still degraded, impacting millions, particularly in developing countries. Research was conducted by A. L. Burrell, J. P. Evans, and M. G. De Kauwe.
