Abstract

This is a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of trends, events and forecasts based on the work of multiple UN agencies and multilateral and bilateral donor organizations working in many drylands around the world. Drylands are defined, and the merits of the commonly accepted terminology is discussed. A major focus is on Africa, especially sub-Saharan countries and those in the Horn of Africa, but examples are drawn from other continents. Recommendations are presented that address the solution of several problems (such as poverty, land degradation and impacts of climate change) at the same time.
