Abstract In the last few years, world has experienced numerous extreme droughts with adverse direct, cascading, and systemic impacts. Despite more frequent severe events, drought risk assessment is still incipient compared to that of other meteorological climate hazards. This mainly due complexity drought, high level uncertainties in its analysis, lack community agreement on a common framework tackle problem. Here, we outline effectively assess manage risks, perspective needed. We propose...
The World Drought Atlas is a new flagship report, produced in collaboration with the U.N. Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD), European Commission, and other partners, which aims raise awareness of drought risk resilience. Formally introduced at UNCCD's 16th Conference Parties Riyadh December 2024, aimed national regional governments policymakers, providing starting point for implementing measures address risks. Using primarily visual materials, to: i) synthesize, map, characterize...
In the past decades, and notably last few years, droughts have severely impacted various interconnected socio-economic sectors ecosystems across EU. These impacts encompass, among others, extensive losses in both rain-fed irrigated agriculture, challenges constraints public water supply, disruptions inland shipping, diminished production of hydropower thermoelectric energy, impaired functioning terrestrial freshwater ecosystems, implications for tourism industry. order to better prepare...
Abstract There is unequivocal evidence that anthropogenic climate change supercharging temperature and precipitation regimes globally. One of the clearest signals this seen in current projected increases extreme heat, understood as changes maximums, longer duration heatwaves, higher night‐time temperatures. Extreme heat has substantial impacts on socio‐ecological systems through direct human health labor productivity, crop yields water security; second‐order infrastructure functioning...
In recent years, research on drought risk has expanded to include multiple types of hazards, various exposed elements and a multitude factors that determine the vulnerability given system or sector. This resulted in call from scientific community adopt systemic perspective drought. However, thorough understanding how risks manifest, cascade interact across different systems sectors is still lacking, methodological guidance analyse represent these interdependencies does not yet...
In the last few years, world has experienced numerous extreme droughts with adverse impacts on coupled human and natural systems. While agriculture is most affected sector, lack of water due to in our highly interconnected also affects ecosystems, public supply, power generation, tourism, water-borne transport buildings, often non-linear cascading systemic impacts. Moreover, interact other hazards complex ways, for example leading compound heat-drought events, wildfires or aggravated when...
Ecosystems in Europe are increasingly faced with more frequent and intense drought events. The impacts of droughts do not only undermine ecosystem health the provision services, but can lead to deterioration system’s long-term resilience droughts. In order effectively assess, reduce, manage risks posed by on ecosystems, it is first necessary gain a thorough understanding how affect particular ecosystem, what underlying risk drivers root causes are, these interact produce that...
