Zusatztext "As we embark on implementing the SDGs and new climate agenda, this book comes at the right point in time. By explaining the interconnections between climate change and land degradation in a scientifically sound yet easy to understand manner we are confident that this book will contribute to the identification of sustainable solutions which help to address the combined effects of land degradation and climate change.
