The sessions aim to address the increasing frequency, duration, and intensity of droughts, which pose significant environmental and economic risks. Topics include drought prediction, monitoring, and communication, as well as the integration of data and community knowledge. These discussions are critical for improving early warning systems and proactive responses to mitigate the impacts of drought on agriculture, water resources, ecosystems, and human health. The sessions will also explore the role of feedback processes in drought development and the links between drought and other climate phenomena like wildfires and heatwaves.
