Europe’s next crisis: water💧& droughts 🌾
A drier summer is on its way & we must urgently reverse this trend.
With Nature restoration & our upcoming 🇪🇺 Soil Law we can break this vicious cycle.

Decision-making about complex #environmental problems like #desertification could be improved by a 3⃣-step methodology.

A study outlines the steps taken by researchers in devising a policy strategy for desertification.

RT @CopernicusECMWF: Do you remember the two extreme weather events at opposite ends of the planet in February?
Australia saw record-breaking floods, while sustained dry conditions brought the Iberian Peninsula to the brink of drought.

A year ago, this was the situation of the San Gabriel Reservoir in #California.
The region was hit by a pretty severe drought - California is no stranger to heat and water shortages but last year's ones left the reservoir severely depleted.

RT @EUClimateAction: Drought is among the most severe natural disasters, fuelled by human activity & climate change.

It can cause water stress, crop failure, & wildfires.

By 2050, 75% of 🌎's population may be affected by drought.

Hola #Madrid, hosting today @UNCCD #DesertificationAndDroughtDay!
The #Mediterranean region has been increasingly hit by drought, like many communities around the world. It’s devastating, but we can learn drought resilience. Let’s rise up from drought together! #MissionMinerva

RT @HorizonMagEU: To mark the World #DesertificationAndDroughtDay, we look at EU research that can help Europe and the world better forecast and adapt to an increasingly warmer and drier climate.
