Every day for the past 20 years, about 2,000 hectares of irrigated land in arid and semi-arid regions have been damaged by salinization. Soil salinity, made worse by the escalating impacts of climate change, now affects nearly one-fifth of the world's total agricultural land, with a negative impact on crop production and food security.
On 3 December, learn about how nuclear techniques are being used to tackle this challenge at a side event on “Climate Smart Agriculture Solutions to Combat Salinity and Climate Change” at the UNFCCC COP28 Atoms4Climate Pavilion.
This event will shed light on how climate change impacts soil salinization and crop production, and will highlight climate smart solutions.
