Over 40% of land may become arid by 2100

A new study predicts that by the end of the 21st century, over 40% of Earth's land may turn into arid zones. This is linked to climate change and greenhouse gas emissions, which can both contribute to and mitigate this process.

In brief

  • Study published in Environmental Research Letters
  • Increased greenhouse gas emissions may slow down drying
  • Arid zones may cover an area the size of Algeria
  • Dry climate zones are expected to occupy 39.31% to 40.28% of land
