The meaning of "stand to"
While this land doesn't 【stand to】 disappear entirely, its landscape may soon be altered beyond recognition if global warming persists.
What does "stand to" mean in this sentence?
THANK YOU !

It means that the land is not likely to disappear. Another way of saying this is 'the land isn't set to disappear'.
