The study reveals that droughts could last 10 days longer by the end of the century than old climate models projected, redefining climate risks and impacts.
According to Irina Petrova, the lead author, 'our study pinpoints global regions where current climate model projections of drought increases may be underestimated'.
Newly calibrated models indicate that North America, Southern Africa, and Madagascar could experience droughts up to twice as intense as previously predicted.
The findings alert policymakers to reassess future drought hazards and take the necessary steps to mitigate growing drought risks.
