Climate change is an unavoidable global condition and is a major concern of the international community. The impacts are very broad and complex, including the phenomenon of increasing drought. Drought is a situation where an area experiences a lack of rainfall over a certain period of time, causing various problems from agriculture to providing clean water. One of the main factors causing drought is increasing global temperatures. Higher temperatures increase the rate of water evaporation from the land surface, thereby exacerbating drought conditions. Areas that are already dry become more susceptible, while areas that were previously quite wet can also be affected. Based on the IPCC report, global temperatures are expected to increase by more than 1.5°C, which will worsen drought in many regions. The impact of drought is closely related to the agricultural sector, where limited water resources threaten world food security. Dry crops or crop failure causes a spike in food prices and a prolonged food security crisis. Countries such as Ethiopia and Sudan are experiencing these changes, impacting millions of people who depend on agriculture for their livelihoods. Climate change also contributes to the redistribution of rainfall patterns. Some areas may experience excessive rainfall, while others experience significant decreases. This not only disrupts the local ecosystem, but also worsens the capacity of water reservoirs without good management. Decreased soil quality due to erosion and dehydration also adds to the problems faced by farmers. The impact of drought is not limited to the agricultural sector. The availability of clean water is an urgent issue. Areas experiencing severe drought often have to rely on alternative water sources that are not always safe for human consumption. This has the potential to trigger a health crisis, including water-borne diseases. Ecosystems are also affected by drought. Flora and fauna that depend on soil moisture are experiencing population decline, leading to a loss of biodiversity. Natural habitats will shrink, creating an imbalance in the food chain and wider ecosystem. Mitigating drought due to climate change requires a multi-dimensional approach. Investment in efficient irrigation technology and sustainable water management is an important step. Adaptation to these changes also includes the use of drought-resistant crops and agricultural practices that follow sustainability principles. Public education about water resources management and the impacts of climate change must also be a main concern. Collective efforts, both at local, national and international levels, will be critical in addressing the global drought crisis linked to climate change. Research and innovation in water resources and agricultural technology will be a driving force for mitigating the impacts of climate change and meeting the challenges of worsening drought in the future.
