Según la Convención de las Naciones Unidas de Lucha contra la Desertificación, hasta el 40% de las zonas terrestres del planeta están degradadas, lo que afecta directamente a la mitad de la población mundial. El número y la duración de los períodos de sequía han aumentado un 29% desde el año 2000 y, si no se toman medidas urgentes, las sequías podrían afectar a más de tres cuartas partes de la población mundial en 2050.
Por esta razón, el Día Mundial del Medio Ambiente 2024 se centra en restaurar las tierras, detener la desertificación y fortalecer la resiliencia a la sequía bajo el lema «Nuestras tierras. Nuestro futuro. Somos la #GeneraciónRestauración». No podemos retroceder en el tiempo, pero sí podemos hacer crecer los bosques, revitalizar las fuentes de agua y restaurar los suelos. Somos la generación que puede hacer la paz con las tierras.

, to reflect the cyclical nature of bird migration. The arrival and departure dates of migration have been consistent over the years as birds use environmental cues, including temperature, to determine when they should take flight. However, due to global warming, their annual migration rhythm is changing. Many migratory birds have to alter their routes, shorten or completely cancel their journey due to changing temperatures.
