Summary
With an unprecedented number of droughts afflicting every corner of the world this year,
it is clear that even the swiftest efforts to curb more variable rainfall and rising
temperatures will be too late to prevent future water shortages.
A new report from the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, shows clearly
the scientific evidence of the changes over the past five decades, and predicts a future
where droughts will increase in intensity and frequency in many parts of the world.
