The concept of ‘climate refugee’: Towards a possible definition [Policy Podcast]
Since 2008, over 318 million persons have been displaced because of climate disasters, this is the equivalent of one person being displaced every second, or the entire Australian population being displaced every year.
Every minute, 23 hectares of land is lost to #desertification, more than the average size of EU farms
Many EU countries are affected

Desertification and agriculture
Desertification is a land degradation process that occurs in drylands. It affects the land's capacity to supply ecosystem services, such as producing food or hosting biodiversity, to mention the most well‑known ones. Its drivers are related to both human activity and the climate, and depend on the specific context.

2022 Desertification and Drought Day
Drought is one of the most destructive natural disasters in terms of the loss of life, arising from impacts, such as widescale crop failure, wildfires and water stress. Exacerbated by land degradation and climate change, droughts are increasing in frequency and severity, up 29% since 2000, with 55 million people affected every year. By 2050, droughts may affect an estimated three-quarters of the world’s population. It’s a global and urgent issue.
