Drought and Water Scarcity (WMO-No. 1284)
World Meteorological Organization (WMO) ; IDMP expert panel with 14 experts from various IDMP partner organizations including UNCCD and FAO - WMO, 2022Driven by climate change, population growth, economic development, and poor water management, the increasingly limited availability of freshwater resources is a fundamental concern for societies worldwide. Drought and water scarcity – two major phenomena that challenge water security – know no national boundaries and affect all socioeconomic sectors of society, with a greater impact on the more vulnerable, poorer or marginalized populations.
Drought is a natural climatic feature of below-average precipitation, which can last for months or years, while water scarcity results from a long- ...

GCOS, 209. 19th Session of the GCOS /WCRP Terrestrial Observation Panel for Climate (TOPC-19)
World Meteorological Organization (WMO) ; United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO); Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC); et al. - WMO, 2017"This meeting [had] to consider its work plan which [included]
• A status report or similar in 4 years and update of IP in 5 years;
• Reviewing the performance of ECV observations and progress on actions in the implementation plan;
• Consideration of Adaptation Needs -> what does it mean for panel/observations;
• The proposal for Evaporation/Latent Heat Flux.
During the discussion it was stressed that the new work cycle of the TOPC after the release of the GCOS implementation plan will be challenging particularly because adaptation and mitigation will become ...
