- The risk of desertification then increases hand over fist, particularly in Europe's Mediterranean regions.
- whereas climate change provokes earth warming, with an increase in soil temperature and a consequent increase in the evaporation level, which results in desertification,
- This bottling plant is in breach of the conclusions of the UN Convention on Climate Change, since the extraction of the water required for it will worsen the local water shortage and could increase the risks of desertification.
- The increase in forest fires, which ravaged huge areas throughout southern Europe this summer, is contributing significantly to aggravating the phenomenon of desertification.
- whereas climate change provokes earth warming, with an increase in soil temperature and a consequent increase in the evaporation level, which results in desertification,
- In many European regions, agriculture guarantees the existence of plant mass that prevents the desertification of the land, a phenomenon that leads to a significant increase in the natural pollutants in groundwater.
- The 1992 CAP therefore led to the desertification of the countryside, due to the fall in the number of farmers and to an increase in intensive production systems.
- whereas climate change will further increase desertification and soil degradation, compromising agricultural production and food security even more, and exacerbating hunger and malnutrition in the ACP regions,

- The Parliament fears that a complete break between aid and production would push farmers to abandon farming in less
- favoured regions, increasing the risks of desertification and regional disparities.
- So how could we refuse this source of all riches to our neighbours, and particularly Spain where the hills of Murcia and now even Catalonia once more bear the marks of increasing desertification?
- At a global level desertification is increasing, leading to poverty, forced migration and conflict.
- We do not think the present policy is bold or supportive enough, particularly as regards the reforestation of the southern regions, which are threatened with increasing desertification.
- Assessments 10 years áfter the entry into effect of the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification, indicate increasing desertification trends while the reaction of states is absent.
- Intensification of conventional agriculture (increased mechanisation and ploughing) over the last 50 years has contributed to this trend, increasing the risk of desertification in most vulnerable regions.
- This strategy promotes the concentration and intensification of production and greater farm size, increasing the desertification of the rural world.
