**5. Conclusions**

Within the scope of combating climate change, the transition to a low-carbon economy on a global level envisages a radical transformation that will change people's lifestyles, production, and manufacturing methods. For this reason, efforts to combat and adapt to climate change should not be perceived as a mere environmental problem. This struggle can directly affect the growth strategies, energy policies, health and agriculture-related programs, use of water resources, food security, transition to a low-carbon economy, and sustainable development goals to be followed by developed and developing countries and may be decisive in their development. To achieve these goals, developed countries need to fulfill their commitments to financing, technology transfer, and capacity building. To combat aridity and desertification, it is necessary to determine the situation on a global scale and to force countries to work on combating drought and desertification. In addition, national and global funds should be mobilized to promote good practices, contribute to sustainable development in countries affected by drought and desertification, develop cooperation in combating drought and desertification, and support studies in this field.
