Climate change is shifting rainfall patterns worldwide. Nearly 500 million people now live in wetter climates than what was typical in the 20th century—mainly in mid to high latitudes. Meanwhile, over 160 million people, mostly in tropical and subtropical areas, face unusually dry conditions. Beyond just changes in average rainfall, shifts in rainfall timing and river flows are also becoming more noticeable. These changes are beginning to bring serious social impacts and growing risks in both ov

Water is fundamental to both societal well-being and ecosystem health. However, water security encompasses more than mere availability; it requires sufficient quantity and quality, along with reliable and acceptable access. An estimated 1.5 to 2.5 billion people currently face water scarcity, a figure projected to rise to 3 billion at 2°C and 4 billion at 4°C of global warming by 2050.

Climate change disrupts the balance between pathogens, vectors, and hosts. Rising temperatures let disease-carrying insects spread into new areas and stay active longer, expanding the transmission window. Without urgent action, we’ll face increasing cases of vector-borne diseases.
