Climate change heightens drought risks in Europe
A recent study has shown that climate change is intensifying droughts in Europe, as rising temperatures accelerate the loss of moisture from the soil and rivers, increasing the risk of more severe drought waves. Since 1850, global temperatures have risen by approximately 1.4°C, leading to a 7% increase in the atmosphere's capacity to draw moisture for each degree of warming. The likelihood of severe drought occurring is now five times higher in Western Europe and eleven times higher in Eastern Europe compared to the pre-industrial climate.
