Climate change and land degradation (LD) are some of the most critical challenges for humanity. Land is focus United Nations (UN) Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG 15: Life on Land). composed inherent anthropogenic LD, which both impacted by soil quality (SQ) climate. Conventional LD analysis does not take into account SQ because it result use/land cover (LULC), can be tracked using remote sensing platforms. Furthermore, traditional link climate through greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This study uses one indicators SDG 15 (15.3.1: Proportion that degraded over total area) demonstrate how in with corresponding GHG emissions time state Arizona (AZ) as a case study. The AZ skewed towards low soils (Entisols: 29.3%, Aridisols: 49.4%), which, when combined climate, define status.
