The desert is encroaching across Sicily, the largest and most populous island in the Mediterranean, where a European temperature high of 48.8C was recorded in 2021. Rainfall is down by more than 40% since 2003.

UNESCO's CARE4WATER initiative aims to boost climate resilience and secure water resources in East Africa by integrating science, socio-economic insights, and community empowerment.

Using survey data collected from approximately half a million individuals across Sub-Saharan Africa over from 2005 to 2018, this paper examines the causal relationship between water availability and labor market outcomes.

This study evaluates the impact of sand dams on resilience to climate variability and changes through a participatory case study approach in the Shashe catchment, a semi-arid catchment shared by Botswana and Zimbabwe.

By 2050, climate change could increase the amount of time women in households without running water spend collecting water by up to 30 percent on global average, according to a new study published in Nature Climate Change.

Landlocked and dependent primarily on rainfall, Malawi's socio-economic development is intricately linked to the availability of water. However, the specter of climate change has brought increased variability in rainfall patterns and water shortages.
