Abstract

Drylands occupy about 41% of Earth’s land area and are home to more than 2 billion people, at least half of whom are dependent on dryland ecosystem services for their livelihoods and wellbeing. Because drylands are by definition climatically challenged, and because so many peoples’ livelihoods depend on managing these challenges, climate and other environmental changes have the potential to impact dryland inhabitants early. Such impacts affect ecosystems and people in but also beyond drylands, for example where people are forced to migrate.
