Fig. 3: Population exposure to extreme droughts during the late 21st century period.
From: Sustainable development substantially reduces the risk of future drought impacts
Population exposure to different probabilities of extreme drought events at a 12-month scale occurring during the late 21st century period (2070–2099) under different scenarios by individual GCMs at the global scale (a) and in the Mediterranean (b), Amazon (c), Southern Africa (d), and Central America (e). Circle and error bars represent the CMIP6 multi-model ensemble median and standard deviation (GCM uncertainty), respectively. The exposed population is expressed as a percentage of the current global population. See Supplementary Figs. 5, 6 for the population exposure to severe and moderate drought probabilities, respectively.
