Mongolia hosted a United Nations summit dedicated to combating drought, but the participating countries failed to reach an agreement on the measures to be implemented. The meeting took place without a joint action plan being defined to address this growing environmental problem.
The international agreement against drought has been postponed to 2028, with its holding scheduled in Egypt. This decision represents a significant postponement in international negotiations on the subject.
The UN warned that soil degradation already affects 40% of the planet, showing the global scale of the problem. The organization's projections indicate that, by 2050, three in four people will be affected by drought at some point.
