Hot-dry extremes could hit 28% of humanity five times more often by end of century

According to recent findings, if current climate policies remain unchanged, up to 28% of the global population could face extreme heat and drought conditions more frequently by 2100.

The analysis indicates that these extreme weather events may occur five times more often than they do today, posing serious implications for infrastructure and resource management.

This potential increase in frequency highlights the urgent need for a reevaluation of climate strategies to mitigate risks associated with heat and drought on a large scale.
