9.Drought is a complex and systemic risk, that often cascades through a region and many sectors of its economy and society, impacting the most vulnerable. Hence, there are no magic bullets or single sector policies to address it (#GAR2021, #GAR2022).

8.There are many examples of successful local drought, desertification & land degradation responses from across the world (#GAR2021). Lessons from these need to better inform new local-to-regional multi-stakeholder partnerships, altered risk governance & financing arrangements.

7.Reactive emergency responses to drought (e.g. water & fodder supply, relief payments) are useful to address humanitarian crises. Longer-term & systemic approaches are necessary to build drought resilience in most parts of the world (#GAR2021, #GAR2022).

6.Drought is not only a risk to ecosystem services, like water & food supply & rural communities. Drought is a serious risk to urban areas across the world with many cities at high and increasing risk of disruption in water supply caused by climate change (#DayZero, #IPCC2022).

5.Two-thirds of the world will be water stressed by the 2030s. Over 700 million people are at risk of being displaced by drought by the 2030s (#WorldBank). As the world warms to 1.5°C & beyond, between 3 and 4 billion people will be exposed to severe water scarcity. (#IPCC2022).

a world where volatile food prices, food and water security concerns due to conflict, desertification and land degradation are growing, drought is one of the most serious challenges to implementing many #SDGs.

2.Over the last 50-years, a third of deaths in disasters were drought related (#IPCC2022). Nearly 20 million people came close to starvation in Africa & West Asia five years ago, in the worst humanitarian crisis since WWII, in spite of record harvests across the world (#UNOCHA).

Congratulations! @valmasdel & #PanmaoZhai. Its been a pleasure working with you on @IPCC_CH #SR15, the #AR6 cycle and now #SUPforClimate. #ClimateScience has made great strides, but there is a long way to go for #ClimateAction to deliver on the commitment of 1.5C.
