**3.2. Land degradation and desertification in Mexico**

Mexico has the compromise to present a national report about land degradation and deserti‐ fication before the UNCDD. According to official reports, 90.7% of land in the country suffers some degree of degradation [72]. On the other hand, desertification affects almost 60% of the land in the country. Degradation and desertification processes in Mexico are complex issues related to poverty and sustainability, and they are affecting all the ecosystems within the country.
