Climate Crisis Intensifies Disruption of Earth's Water Cycle
A recent report highlights that the climate crisis is significantly disrupting the Earth's water cycle, leading to severe floods and intense droughts that affected billions of people in 2024. Rising global temperatures are increasing the atmosphere's capacity to hold moisture, intensifying rainfall and floods, as well as droughts through enhanced soil evaporation. Water-related calamities in 2024 caused at least 8,700 deaths, displaced 40 million people, and incurred economic damages exceeding $550 billion. The report calls for urgent measures to mitigate and adapt to these challenges.
World Meteorological Organization Reports Record Glacier Mass Loss
The World Meteorological Organization 's recent report indicates that glaciers suffered the largest mass loss ever recorded in the last five decades. This reduction diminishes the amount of water available for communities, agriculture, and ecosystems, further stressing global water supplies. The report underscores the need for improved data collection and sharing to address these escalating water resource challenges.
World Economic Forum Global Risks Report 2025
The World Economic Forum Global Risks Report 2025 highlights water scarcity as a major short-term risk, especially for countries like India, and warns of worsening environmental threats over the next decade.
