The Challenge: Repairing Planet, People and Peace People flee from droughts, hunger and war. They generate enormous forces to find better living conditions. A refugee camp is always seen as a stopover – but the onward journey is risky, costly and hard. A high percentage of people will never leave the camp again. Globally, there are about 79.5 million forcibly displaced people including refugees. At the same time, more than 75% of Earth’s Land Areas are substantially degraded. This undermines the well-being of almost half of the world’s population. The annual costs of land degradation are more than US$ 231 billion.
