Three-quarters of Earth’s land became permanently drier in last three decades: UN

The overarching trend, however, is clear: drylands are expanding, pushing ecosystems and societies to suffer from aridity's life-threatening impacts.

For the 2.3 billion people – well over 25% of the world’s population – living in the expanding drylands, this new normal requires lasting, adaptive solutions. Aridity-related land degradation, known as desertification, represents a dire threat to human well-being and ecological stability.

And as the planet continues to warm, report projections in the worst-case scenario suggest up to 5 billion people could live in drylands by the century’s end, grappling with depleted soils, dwindling water resources, and the diminishment or collapse of once-thriving ecosystems.

Forced migration is one of aridity’s most visible consequences. As land becomes uninhabitable, families and entire communities facing water scarcity and agricultural collapse often have no choice but to abandon their homes, leading to social and political challenges worldwide. From the Middle East to Africa and South Asia, millions are already on the move—a trend set to intensify in coming decades.

Increasing aridity is expected to play a role in larger and more intense wildfires in the climate-altered future—not least because of its impacts on tree deaths in semi-arid forests and the consequent growing availability of dry biomass for burning
Rising aridity’s impacts on poverty, water scarcity, land degradation and insufficient food production have been linked to increasing rates of sickness and death globally —especially among children and women
Rising aridity and drought play a key role in increasing human migration around the world—particularly in the hyper-arid and arid areas of southern Europe, the Middle East and North Africa and southern Asia.

9.1%: Portion of Earth’s land classified as hyperarid, including the Atacama (Chile), Sahara (Africa), Namib (Africa), and Gobi (China/Mongolia) deserts.
23%: Increase in global land at "moderate" to "very high" desertification risk by 2100 under the worst-case emissions scenario
- +8% at "very high" risk
- +5% at "high" risk
- +10% at "moderate" risk

Resource type

UNCCD Publication

The fashion industry significantly influences land use, soil health and degradation through its fiber choices and production practices. From cotton's high resource demands to the overgrazing linked to wool and cashmere, and the microplastic pollution of synthetic fibers, each material poses unique challenges. Emerging alternatives, such as agricultural waste fibers, offer promise but remain niche. Addressing the environmental pressures caused by the fast pace of consumption and material reliance requires sustainable practices across the fashion value chain. This publication, being launched at UNCCD COP16 in Saudi Arabia, highlights the connection between fashion and land, showcasing innovative solutions, policy frameworks and actionable strategies to reduce the industry’s impact and promote long-term environmental stewardship.

Dune- distillation suit

10045816_2 — 2025-01-20 10:16:22 UTC

In the novel and the movie, the distillation suit is actually like a portable distiller. Through the movement of the human body, it creates a device like a distillery, which can convert the sweat, urine and other waste water produced by the user into gas, and then filter it through the equipment on the suit to ensure that the user can still survive in the harsh and hot environment. When making the costumes, the costume team used a fabric called "micro sandwich", which is composed of acrylic fibers and porous cottons. It can absorb moisture from the body and keep the actors cool when wearing it. Jacqueline West: "When we were shooting desert scenes in Jordan, wearing it was like wearing Under Armour (sports brand). The micro sandwich allows this suit to have a substantial moisture extraction effect without losing flexibility." It is known that each distillation suit takes about two weeks to make, which is very serious.

High temperature resistant cloth is commonly known as high temperature varnish cloth, welding cloth, and adopts high-quality imported glass fiber as the weaving material. It is woven into a high-grade glass fiber cloth substrate by plain weave, twill weave, satin weave or other weaving methods. Then, it is repeatedly fully impregnated and coated with high-quality Teflon resin through unique process technology to produce various ultra-wide high temperature resistant varnish cloth.

Hydrogel fabric:

10045816_2 — 2025-01-20 11:16:53 UTC

Hydrogel is a highly absorbent material that can store a lot of water and is often used in medicine, agriculture and other fields. Some fabrics incorporate hydrogels into them, which can release water for plant growth during droughts or be used as a heat-resistant material in human clothing.

10045816_2 — 2025-01-20 11:17:41 UTC

Some specially designed fabrics have a certain water storage function on the basis of waterproofness. For example, fabrics with integrated water bladders or internal water storage layers are often used in hydration backpacks or portable water source systems.
