As scorching temperatures continue to break records across Europe, unprecedented wildfires break out in the Arctic, and polar sea ice cover drops—again—to an all-time low, never before has the climate crisis been so palpable, for so many people.
The increasing intensity and frequency of climate extremes impacts life on earth in many ways. Ocean and terrestrial ecosystems, which we all depend on, are equally affected, as is our planet’s capacity to sustain our growing needs.
A special report issued today by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change unveils how climate change, land management and global food security interact with each other, creating complex feedback loops.
By contributing to desertification and land degradation, the climate crisis is seriously threatening land ecosystems, biodiversity and global food security. Unsurprisingly, people living in degraded or dry areas, often already suffering from a lack of resources and water, will be most affected.
But just as climate extremes exacerbate land degradation processes across the globe, “Sustainable land management can contribute to reducing the negative impacts of multiple stressors, including climate change, on ecosystems and societies,” note the report authors. Several solutions can be used to provide some respite in the short, medium and long term.
