Abstract

This research synthesizes recent evidence on global drought trends, revealing an intensification and increased frequency of extreme events over recent decades. Studies highlight shifts in precipitation patterns, growing aridity, and reduced hydrological resources influenced by climate change and natural variability. Key drivers include large-scale climate phenomena, while compound events like drought and heatwaves amplify risks. The socio-economic impacts are significant, particularly in agriculture, necessitating urgent adaptation and sustainable management strategies.

Keywords: Drought Trends; Climate Change; Precipitation Patterns; Hydrological Drought; Socio-Economic Impacts; Extreme Events; Water Resources; Agricultural Drought; Soil Moisture; Climate Variability
