Abstract

With droughts expected to impact 75% of people by 2050 and annual costs exceeding $307 billion globally, investing in sustainable land and water management is crucial. This report highlights the economic and environmental benefits of nature-based solutions, such as reforestation, grazing management, and watershed conservation, to restore ecosystems, improve water cycles, and support human well-being.
