3、 escalating threat to global food and water security,biodiversity,and economic stability.The scale of this challenge is massive.According to the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification(UNCCD),between 2015 and 2019,an area twice the size of Greenland 100 million hectares was degraded each

4、 year.In total,1.52 billion hectares,or 15.54%of all reported land,have been affected by land degradation.1 The economic consequences are equally alarming;losses are projected to reach a staggering US$23 trillion by 2050.Exacerbating this crisis is the widespread loss of tree cover.Since 2000,the Wo

5、rld Resources Institute has documented a decline of 488 million hectares,equivalent to 12%of global tree cover.This trend is accelerating,with tree cover loss per year increasing from 13.4 million hectares in 2001 to 28.3 million hectares in 2023.2Within this global context,the arid and hyper-arid r

6、egions of the world,including the Gulf Cooperation Council(GCC)countries,face particularly acute challenges.These regions,characterized by water scarcity and fragile ecosystems,are disproportionately vulnerable to the impacts of land degradation and climate change(see Figure 1).Specifically,Western
