The hidden impacts of drought you need to know | GAR 2021 | UNDRR

🌍 By 2025, two-thirds of the world could be living under water stress (UNCCD). Yet the true impacts of drought remain underestimated. Drought is not just about water scarcity. Its effects linger long after the drought ends, disrupting agriculture, public water supply, and energy production — while threatening human health, biodiversity, and entire ecosystems. The impacts often amplify inequalities, hitting the most vulnerable communities hardest. That’s why drought risk governance is essential: tackling hazards, exposure, and vulnerability with strategies that include everyone. 🤝 All of society must act together to prevent devastating impacts and build resilience against future droughts. 🔗 Learn more about how drought affects our world and what can be done to reduce risks in the GAR Special Report on Drought 2021: https://www.undrr.org/publication/gar... #Drought #ClimateChange #WaterCrisis #Resilience #DisasterRiskReduction
